The 4th edition of MAJOLICA comes with a revised price guide and the same attention to color photos and detail as the originals - and it's a pocket-sized tote to boot, making it a perfect item of choice for any who journey in search of the glassware. The clear pictures make identification a snap, while the latest values lend to quick collection assessment.Diane C. DonovanCalifornia Bookwatch

This book is filled with lovely pictures of Majolica. Unfortunately it is not filled with the kind of information that I was looking for as a collector. I would have liked to see pictures of the marks he describes. Also, I am very disappointed he did not discuss how to recognize new Majolica-like pieces and/or fakes.

Great pictures, a lot of information but quite dated, especially with regards to prices. I really wish there were more current information available.

This is a good book to learn the differences between styles, glazing types, and especially makers. I refer to it often, as I am an avid collector.
