I know I am a huge dork for reading this book, but since I started collecting milk glass I've been fascinated by all the patterns and their values. Nuttin' like finding a $8 valued mug at the thrift store for fifty cents!

Jammed packed with illustrations; fairly interesting commentary; dated price guides.
