Although I'd love to have a reference book that gave the history of our collection and gave us an idea of the rarity of each mug and ones we come across here and there, having such a book creates an instant collectable market. Every antique store in the country will have to have the book and begin pricing accordingly. It will ruin the market for us! I would much rather have a web site with the same info, even if I had to subscribe to it. That keeps it out of the hands of "collectors" and in the hands of enthusiasts. STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!
