If you are looking for a book that will tell you exactly what range you have sitting on your shelves, this may not be the one for you, as although the different styles/ranges are briefly described, not all of them are shown in illustrations. What illustrations are included are very well reproduced (many in colour) and also give the size of the largest piece in each case so that you can get an idea of the size of each item. Not surprisingly, there are more illustrations of recent designs, though there are many reproductions of old catalogue pages showing sketches of designs from the past.
For the price the book is excellent, and the coverage of the past history of the pottery is covered in detail (the actual name of the pottery has only been Denby in recent history) and I can thoroughly recommend it.
I thought the pictures were excellent. Firstly there were many colour pictures of many different pieces and ranges, then there were illustrations and pictures for the base stamps and there were also scans of catalogues which showed the different shapes for different Denby ranges.
My mum collects Denby and found this book invaluable in dating some of her pieces, as well as informing her as to what style/range the Denby pieces she had belonged to.
If you are looking at, or if you already collect Denby, I think this book is really informative. It may not cover all pieces but it provides the most in-depth information and background on Denby that I have seen to date. Excellent.
