This volume has the MOST COMPLETE list of the "American" pattern in a single volume. There are pictures of almost every piece produced, many of which the novice collector may never see in person. The price list is complete as well, and are basically accurate for the current market. Excellent informational section on the variations and the relationships between pieces and molds. This edition also includes useful information on the other patterns by other manufacturers that are often mistaken for "American".

A "MUST" for the serious collector of the "American" pattern by Fostoria.

This is absolutly the most complete and easiest to follow price and identification book on the market. I own 4 others and none can come close to this one. Everything is pictured, numbered,rated and discusssed. this deserves 10 stars for the late Sidney Seligson! We will miss his knowledge and kindness!

This is a must for serious collectors. It has saved hundreds of times the price. There are many glass pieces out there called "American Fostoria" that are not. The description and pictures make it much easier to tell the real items. The prices are quite accurate, but seem to be quite low on the really rare ones.

I AM INTERESTED IN THIS BOOK AND YOUR ON-LINE CATALOG OFFERS SAMPLE PAGES. HOWEVER, THE PAGE CONTENTS YOU OFFER,PARTICULARY THE FRONT AND BACK PAGES, OFFER NO USEFUL INFORMATION. WILL YOU PLEASE REVISE THE SAMPLE CONTENT TO INCLUDE A PAGE WITH PHOTOGRAPHS? THAT REVISED INFORMATION WILL GIVE ME WHAT I NEED TO DECIDE ON A PURCHASE.

What is being sold here, the 4th or 3rd edition? The above book description makes it sound like its the 4th edition, with a total of 117 pages, but the book cover shown is the 3rd edition (99 pages). This is very confusing.
