Weatherman's Colored Glasswear of the Depression Era is by far the best book on depression glass of them all. While there are more up to date and more thorough books out there, this is a wonderful book that's fun to read and the author obviously loved the topic and wanted others to have a starting point as well. Although this is my oldest book on depression glass, it's opened far more than some of the newer books. There are some patterns not listed, and others with names that we now know are wrong, but the patterns are represented well and the pictures while mostly black and white, still highlight the patterns. Recommended. I thought I would just look at the pictures, but I read it word for word and even went back to read some sections again. I love it!
