This book is wonderful to look at and browse through! It has a great deal of information and MANY full color pictures. It is a delight to be able to see so many well photographed pieces in one volume. The price ranges are listed right with the picture and descriptions, so it is a quick and easy reference. This is a good book for those that are in search of a moderately priced volume for their personal reference, as well as for the dealer.

Note: the author, Leslie Pina, has many other volumes on glass that may be of interest to you.

Fostoria AAmerican Line 2056 is a real neat book and I have really enjoyed looking it over for the idea of finding the pieces that I have and looking for additional pieces and the price listed for the pieces is a real help.
The pictures are fantastic and the descriptions are good. I only wish that I knew how to measure the pieces of glass to match their measurements.It's great to have the individuals to share by allowing photographs of their collections to help us beginners. Such treasures!Thanks for a job well done to the author, Leslie Pina, Ohio.

Book was in pristine condition and helped me find what I was missing from this pattern

I purchased this for a friend for Christmas. She's spent several hours looking through it to find her items and loves it.

I purchased this for a family member. He is in to collecting all sorts of things (and knowing how much they are worth versus how much he paid for them!) He loves this book. He often refers to it whenever he gets a new Fostoria piece. He only wishes there was a more current version.

If you're a Fostoria Americana Collector,
this book is a must have.
Gives you an idea of what your pieces are worth,
what they officially are, and what pieces you don't have!
I'm definitely keeping it around for reference.

I would recommend for anyone collecting Fostoria American. Great pictures with estimated pricing. Allows us to make informed decisions when we see pieces at various shows and flea markets.

Book in excellent condition, very good price as I bargain shopped. The book is a must for the Fostoria American collector. Received quickly.Purchased as a gift for a collector.

The book is excellant reference for this style glassware. The pictures are clear and easy to compare the glassware object .
The only problem I found is "I already have the book!" So always check your library before buying.
