In "The Encyclopedia of Shot Glasses", Mark Pickvet combines his two previous volumes into one comprehensive guide, adding new information and creating a much simpler method of referencing the more than 4,000 shot glasses he has found. This third book in a series still employs the unique catalog number system, combining a three-letter code with a three-number code, and providing a quick reference guide for shot glass collectors of any degree.
The book features large, detailed line drawings of more than 1,400 shot glasses, arranged alphabetically by catalog number in one continuous section. The catalog number below each glass gives clues as to the type of ware, geographical origin, and date of manufacture, while guiding the reader to additional information in the main description and pricing guide. A brief caption is also included directly below each shot glass for searching at-a-glance.
The new encyclopedia features selected shot glasses shown in the first two books, plus an additional 1,000 new finds. Prefaced by a brief history of the international development of shot glasses, this book is user- friendly and collector-friendly with an emphasis on learning how to determine value. Pickvet educates the reader on approximating value in his general pricing guide. He also includes good and mint prices for each of the more than 4,000 shot glasses listed.
