Great book for collectors with plenty of pictures of shapes and patterns in Shelley China as well as prices. Covers all collectors items i.e. cups, saucers, plates, vases,tea pots, coffee pots, souvenir pieces etc.etc. I would recommend this book to serious and not so serious collectors. Shows beautiful and rare pieces that I have not seen before (but would love to have) and explains how to recognize fake, repairs and flaws as well as giving you a history on Shelley China. Overall this book by Tina Skinner and Jeffrey B Snyder is an insight into everything 'Shelly' - a great buy at a great price.
This is an excellent book for identification and values. I have found several pieces of mine and been able to learn more about this lovely china.
Missing a feature on the vogue/mode shapes as well as the queen anne. As these are the coveted and most popular shapes, it was a surprise not to find them in this book
