The Encyclopedia of Shot Glasses

This book goes a long way toward finding the values of specific shot glasses when there are so many out there. In this book, 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. The encyclopedia is a full 300+ pages of information, illustrations and values for the various shapes, sizes and designs of shot glasses. There are also sections dedicated to the history of shot glasses, a glossary of shot glass terms and a checklist to document your own shot glass collection. 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 in the book. Although there are some photos of shot glasses in the book, most illustrations are large, detailed line drawings that are hand drawn for accuracy. A brief caption is also included directly below each shot glass for searching at-a-glance. All shot glasses are also indexed so that you can look them up in a jiffy.
