This is a well-organized reference to Roseville Pottery. It contains a history of Roseville Pottery; this added knowledge adds to the fun of collecting and allows you to sound more like you know what you are doing. Then there are pages on the different "marks" of the pottery. There is a dated value guide. But I find it easier to do my own comparing.
The big plus is the color pictures that show what is available. For those discriminating people that do not just buy anything that says Roseville Pottery there is an index. It is also fun to see your Roseville Pottery pieces in the book.
