Covers very basic amount of Carltonware
I purchased this book as i was just getting into carltonware products. The book covers all aspects of Carltonware produced that can be identified. As I was interested in saladware/dinnerware i found it was lacking in this aspect. It is a useful guide for general carltonware but is lacking in the amount available that can be found. As a reference guide i would not recommend it for a serious collecter as it does not feature a lot of the products available.

good but incomplete
I have this book and whilst i recomend it i find it to be only half written....the research is incomplete and many patterns exist which are not covered by this book...i am at present looking for a more comprehensive book on carlton ware....i recomend you buy this as a starter but dont expect it to have all the answers because it won't !

New research required
Although this book is limited in it's content it represents the best information available at this time and is the only book on this subject that exists. Carltonware pattern books are lost and David Serpell has made a first attempt at bringing together a little of the available information. There is a desperate need for some ambitious researcher to continue this work.
