Really wonderful book!
At the Top of My Pyrex “Go To” Book List.
I have been enjoying having Shiny, Happy Pyrex People in my reach. When I want to have a few minutes of “me time” and take a break within my hectic day, it’s a nice therapeutic feeling to read all the great information, history, see the wonderful pictures and charts, interviews and the recipes in the book. It was also a privilege to meet you (Jennifer Ashley) at a book signing, to hear about how you gathered so much information.
This book is definitely at the top of my Pyrex information “go to” book list.
Tons of Information
Shiny, Happy Pyrex People is full of great information and pictures. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about Pyrex or is just getting started. As a new collector myself, this will be an invaluable reference and treasured book for many years to come.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
I LOVE my new book! I keep it on my coffee table and have shared flipping through it with my 83 yr old mom and vintage-collecting sister. What a great resource – plus entertaining. It will be something I keep forever! Well worth the cost of shipping to Canada!
Great book, even for passive collectors!
I LOVE the book! It is VERY well done and has more information about Pyrex than I even knew existed. There are a ton of photos- even my kids were interested in looking at the book. They especially loved finding photos of the same pieces that we have. Buy this book. You won’t be disappointed!
Shiny, Happy Pyrex Couple!
My husband and I have recently started collecting Pyrex together. We enjoy the history behind the pieces and love the thrill of the hunt. Shiny, Happy Pyrex People has brought us lots of joy. Life can be crazy, but taking the time to collect and learn together has been the little pick-me-up our marriage needed! Thank you for playing a role in the process!
Details Make Me Happy!
I love a book you can refer back to time and time again and this book does just that! There are so many well researched facts and they are paired with human interest stories and in formation I haven’t found other places. This book is well worth the money.

A labor of love!
I am a little biased here, but I am so proud of my amazing wife! She had a vision and attacked it with gusto. Her drive and focus during this whole process is incredible. Also, it’s a pretty good book ;-). All the feedback I have received from friends and family has been full of praise. I’m so proud of my Jenny!!! Hope you enjoy the book as well and may it lead you to that rare find in the wild!!!
