Best book(s) for a new collector...
« on: January 10, 2014, 11:10:59 PM »
Looking for one, maybe two suggestions for information/value books for a new collector.  I know enough to be dangerous but would like to get more in depth information.

Welcome Derek!  Glad you've stopped by! :)

1.  The Book of Griswold & Wagner - aka The Blue Book
2.  The Book of Wagner & Griswold - aka The Red Book
3.  Griswold Muffin Pans - aka the Yellow Book

Available from our Webmaster, Greg Stahl:
 http://www.griswoldandwagner.com/store/agora.cgi?product=books&cart_id=

and elsewhere! 

These books are an important STARTING point. ;)

[size=14]Welcome to WAGS Derick!

  I'd also recommend the Blue and Red Books Cheryl mentioned and would also suggest coming over to the 'Dark Side' as the information available to us is some of the best money you can spend for more "in depth" information...  (IMHO  ;))

Derek, you won't be sorry on any of those options.
