This is a "Schiffer Book for Collectors," by Phillip Hopper, copyright 1998. 127 Pages. Book in good condition. Pictures makes the bottom of the cover appear faded, but it is just from camera angle and flash. Has 250 color photographs of royal ruby red glass, including bottles, jars, pitchers, trays, vases, and more. (No listings for insulators.) Also includes specifics on such companies as Baltic, Fairfield, Highpoint, Waterford, and more. Also includes 12 original advertisement bulletins, as well as many references to Anchor Hocking ruby glass, a popular manufacturer for collectors. Great book for you or anyone you know you collects ruby glass. I have been asked about the prices listed in late-90's price guides. I have found that because of the economy, late-90's price guides are a good estimate of values for pieces in the current market. Because of this, you are able to save money by buying older guides, rather than purchasing a new guide and seeing very close prices. This guide can be yours for $ 24 + $4 Media Mail shipping. That's much less than what this guide is selling for now. Now $24 Shipped.
