Fantastic Book For The Flea Market and Antique Stores,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collecting Fiesta, Lu-Ray & Other Colorware (Hardcover)
Gonzalez is organized, thoughtful, and extremely visual in giving tips on how to recognize Vintage Fiesta from Post86 (reissued) Fiesta, as well as distinguishing knock-offs from the real thing! He discusses each of the impressed stamps and ink stamps used to identify Fiesta, as well as providing pictures of each stamp. He also shows how to measure items to distinguish Vintage from Post86. His value ranges are a bit high, but this book is invaulable when it comes to being a useful resource for new and seasoned collectors alike. This book is great to use hand in hand with the Huxfords' book. The values in the Huxfords are very accurate, but the book can be confusing - especially if you are at a Flea Market and need info quickly. Gonzalez will provide info clearly (and easy to find) without rambling.

Great Book for Collectors of Fiesta and Lu-Ray,
By Deborah Abernethy (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collecting Fiesta, Lu-Ray & Other Colorware (Hardcover)
I am usually a harsh reviewer and rarely give a book five stars except for one with strong scholarly content. This is one where I did give five stars because the book so adequately covered the necessary topics important to collecting this type of item. It is the most comprehensive book available for information on Fiesta.

Gorgeous Hardcover Volume of Fiesta, Lu-Ray & Colorware,
This review is from: Collecting Fiesta, Lu-Ray & Other Colorware (Hardcover)
Brand new, year 2000 hardback library volume of 182 pages. A beautiful book with a wealth of information and more than 800 full color, large, sharp photos. Covers from Homer Laughlin Lines, Taylor, Smith and Taylor Lines to Knowles, Mt. Clemens, Zephyr, Sevilla, Camwood and others. Item descriptions are very detailed and appear with great photos and values. The photos are exceptional, and true to life. A joy for collectors of colorware.
