This book is indispensable for indentifying the older pieces of Homer Laughlin. While not a price guide per se it does give the reader an idea of the value of older pottery shapes.

A very comprehensive guide with many good photos and historical information. The book is well formatted and easy to use. If you collect pottery this book needs to be in your library.

A well researched and well written guide. Readers like pictures and this book has lots of bright and colorful pictures with descriptions and information. The book gives insight into Mr. Laughlin and his pottery. I recommend this book to all collectors of Homer Laughlin.

This is a must have for Homer Laughlin collectors. Get a feel for the life,times and area that produced the largest American manufacturer of dinnerware. This book is packed with information that you just can't digest in one setting. I'm constantly referring to it and learning something new everytime.

Wonderful book about a wonderful company. HLC is one of the oldest companies in the USA which continues to operate successfully. It's famous for Fiesta and restaurant china, and in earlier years for an endless array of household patterns. In this book Jo Cunningham does a sensational job of documenting company history, along with hundreds of popular as well as rare patterns made from 1873 through 1939.

This book was in wonderful condition, but it did not have the information I was looking for, my mistake. It seemed to take a little longer to recieve than I thought it should, but that was because I was anxious to look up information I wanted.

I have since sold the book on Amazon.

A very good book for reference. I have used it many times looking at thing I'd like to bid on and wanted more information on the origin and value
