I'd hoped this book would have more up-to-date photos and information on Slag animals, especially cats. There's almost no coverage of the alley cats and the smaller cats that were produced in slag. These 11" and 6" cats are commanding high prices, and are very exciting to see. I hope there'll be an updated version of this book. If you collect vases, bowls, etc., there's lots to review and learn. Very few of the other Fenton books give more than a couple of pages to the slag and marble creations, so this is worth it if you coillect it.
This is a very interesting book and I am glad to add it to my collection because I don't know too much about slag glass and now I can learn from it. This book arrived in great condition and I would buy from this seller again.
Great book for slag and marble glass. There is no other book on the market that covers this area of glass collecting so thoroughly.
Extremely pleased with book. Item as described. Thanks so much.
Happy with purchase and would recommend it to others.
