Kay's viewpoint
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The layoutis fantastic. A person is able to find and see the information they are looking for. Being in color is an absolute necessity. I have read thru the book several times. It is a valuable tool in collection. Thank you very much. Kay Brashers.
Great teacup guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a great collection of the different types of teacups. Very helpful to an avid china collector! There are not very many books in this area of antiques, so I was thrilled to find this first edition. The second edition is also wonderful too. Highly recommend for the novice collector, to the avid ones!
Even better than Book 1!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found Book 1 to be very helpful to me as a beginning serious collector and Book 2 has been much more so as my collection has grown. I loved the marks section with color photographs of marks and have used it in dating some of my cup and saucer sets. I also found the sketches of shapes and handles of cups to be useful in descriptions for the inventory of my collection. Pictures of old trade cards are a charming touch and reproduced old catalog pages, extra photographs and added information greatly add to the enjoyment of this book for a novice or experienced collector.
FANTASTIC -- MORE, MORE!

Susan and Jim you are wonderful! I purchased you first edition and was thrilled with it and this one is even better. My last review (on the first book) requested more and you did it! This one has useful information on the different shapes, a little more history and an excellent section on marks. This is an excellent source for the beginning and the more avid and advanced collector. My first review requested a whole series of books on cups and saucers -- please do more. Beautifully done and the color photography is gorgeous! Can't say enough about this book.
Very helpful to the cup and saucer collector.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book renewed my interest in my cup and saucer collection and has been extremely helpful to me in identifying and valuing sets I already had and many others I've acquired since I purchased the book. The pictures are good, the authors are very knowledgeable and are working on a Volume II, possibly due out this Fall.
