More Royal Ruby
Hopper, Phillip
Schiffer, 1999. 128 pages. ISBN: 076430870X.
Retail: $24.95
Hopper's second book on Royal Ruby re-examines the basic patterns and adds several new bits of info. Several uncommon tumblers and stems are shown. Expanded sections on lamps, decorated items, and bottles are included. Avon, look-alikes, and photos of boxed dinnerware sets comprise the new topics. Some information is repeated from the first book.
While not as essential as the first book, More Royal Ruby is a worthwhile reference. Finding any of the unusual items never before documented could easily pay for the book. Hopper's precise research & documentation carry over from Royal Ruby, making this a book you can trust completely.
