for the most part, it left off the years of manufacturing, which was what I needed. It was more important to know how old the jar was, not its value in 1994. Also, not very complete. I have a lot of Mason type jars that are not even mentioned in book.

I bought this book to educate myself on recognizing fruit jar value, reproductions, history, etc. It was a quick and easy read, makes a nice reference, but I rarely refer to it now. I now prefer the "Collector's Guide to Old Fruit Jars" and "2012/2013 Fruit Jar Annual".
This book is great for identification but it is older so don’t depend on the prices quoted,
