liberon paste wax

the service was five stars, but the product, a wax product, does not harden fast enough so that the surface can be buffed. It's probably good on furniture but does not work that well on a table top.

Useful, intriguing, and informative

This book is an incredible resource for a collecter. Webster's passion for thorough research is evident as he weaves stories about WDC's history into a very practical price guide. He approaches the subject as a storyteller, researcher, curator, and glassware dealer. This reminds the reader of why we get into collecting in the first place; it goes beyond the object and into how the object came to be. Webster's book teaches us about why this glassware was made and encourages us to ask similar questions about the material world around us. He strikes a fine balance between the technical, practical, and personal aspects of telling the story of the Wheeling Decorating Company. This is a most impressive debut and I hope we will see more from this fine author.

Wonderful

This book is wonderful. Very informative, well written. I would like to see more on this company.
