This book is fairly well written and is very easy to read. However, the book is organized like a story and is not very useful in identifying depression glass patterns. There is no index of patterns and the pictures, while nice, consist of different patterns and colors all thrown together. So, although the book itself has some good points in that it reads smoothly and the author is very personable, it wasn't what I wanted and is not at all helpful in the identification and pricing of the depression glass I love.
