Pyrex The Unauthorized Guide

Very nice book on Pyrex ware. It is a nice guidebook to have for collectors.

A Pyrex Cornucopia

With every book on collectibles people will say or write they couldn't find what they were looking for. This is true with antique and collectibles books but we need to determine if a book of this type is relevant to our needs. As a seller of antiques and glass collectibles I find the Pyrex "Unauthorized Collector's Guide" has a wealth of information, if you will, a cornucopia of Pyrex history, excellent pictures, descriptions and range of valuation, which should serve the most discerning individual. I would prefer a hardcover book and that is my only complaint but that's being too snobbish. The glossy pages fill your eyes with cookware, flameware, ovenware, Pyrex colors, glassware and even takes on some unknown patterns. I discovered so much more about Pyrex than I ever expected. Identification of merchandise is of utmost importance for my online store and the customer should expect that. I am a stickler for accuracy and in a very short time this book has help me merchandise my Pyrex inventory for sale and has encouraged me to look for much more and not be afraid to make future Pyrex investments for my store. This book will now accompany me on my antiquing journeys and will come in handy when it's time to identify, value, and purchase. It should serve you well in your library for collecting your favorite Pyrex. Indeed!

Good guide for the pyrex collector

This is a good reference for the collector of vintage pyrex. It also includes an interesting history of the company.

WHAT A GREAT BOOK!

MY WIFE AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK AND WE ARE ORDERING IT AGAIN SINCE WE LOST EVERYTHING WE HAD IN A HOME FIRE IN AUGUST INCLUDING ALL OF OUR PYREX. WE MUST HAVE THIS BOOK AGAIN AND WILL START OUR COLLECTION ALL OVER AGAIN. IT IS SUCH A COMPLETE BOOK OF INFORMATION ON PYREX.
