I have found all of Doris Yeske's books very helpful in both the purchasing and selling of depression glass. They have also been an educational tool in determining the patterns and whether or not the piece is a repro - of which I have found many. I also (in my opinion) find her prices to be more down to earth. If you want a book that you can use - I recommend reading all of Doris Yeske's books.
