2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for the novice glass collector, March 30, 1999
This review is from: Fostoria: An Identification and Value Guide of Pressed, Blown & Hand Molded Shapes (Hardcover)
Unless you are familiar with the Fostoria line, this is not the book for you. As a collector who is just acquainting herself with glass, the arrival of this book is met with great disappointment.

Most pieces are unmarked, so a good reference to the patterns and color shades is valuable. Of the 240 pages, only 48 contain color pictures. The majority of the patterns are represented by black and white catalog clippings and silouette line drawings. Some patterns have no visual representation at all.

There is also a small section dedicated to reproductions with the warning that no value can be given to reproduced items. However, there are no tips on how to spot a reproduction.

Perhaps those already familiar with the patterns would find this a valuable tool, as the listings of pieces in each pattern appear to be complete and the patterns are sensibly listed in alphabetical order.

This review is from: Fostoria: An Identification and Value Guide of Pressed, Blown & Hand Molded Shapes (Hardcover)
I agree wholeheartedly with the other review of this book. However, I have faith that it one day will be valuable tool for me. For now, it sits on my shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fostoria glass book, January 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fostoria: An Identification and Value Guide of Pressed, Blown & Hand Molded Shapes (Hardcover)
This book was a gift for my brother-in-law and he loves it. He buys older glass pieces and sells them on ebay. He considers this guide invaluable.
