Large, full-color group settings are included for each of the more than 90 patterns, as well as close-ups to show pattern details. The famous glassmakers presented include Fostoria, Cambridge, Heisey, Tiffin, Imperial, Duncan & Miller, U.S. Glass, and Paden City. In addition to his interesting discussions of each pattern, Florence provides a list of all known pieces, with colors and measurements, along with current values.
