A New Pyrex Book is Here!
Shiny, Happy, Pyrex People is for old and new collectors alike. This Pyrex book covers a century of Pyrex history alongside the personal stories of some very, important people. Original photography highlights favorite patterns and invites you to explore lesser known pieces. I encourage you to use this resource to identify your Pyrex finds and to “go your own way” in your Pyrex pursuits.

Buy this book
If you love Pyrex but want to become educated about it then this is the book. It is a useful resource for collectors and Pyrex fans. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
A book to keep handy
I bought this book a while ago and keep it handy. This last week I used it to reference a 60s promo.
The color pictures and arrangements of stories are spot on.
Beautifully produced book
My sil shared her book with me last year and I loved it. Now I have my own copy! Great resource for Pyrex information and reference. And I love the rabbitholes!
