THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE FOR ALL COLLECTORS OF FIESTA. THE PICTURES ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST AND CLEAREST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. I HAVE READ ALMOST EVERY BOOK OUT THERE AND THIS ONE IS THE MOST PRECISE. SEE ONE OF THE LARGEST COLLECTIONS IN THE US. EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND PRICE ANY FIESTA WARE YOU COULD EVER FIND. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS BOOK

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK FOR IDENTIFYING ITEMS THEMSELVES. THE COLORS ARE NOT THE BEST IN THAT IF YOU ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY MEDIUM GREEN, IT SHOWS UP DIFFERENT ON DIFFERENT PAGES. SAME FOR OTHER COLORS. BUT IT HAS BEEN GREAT HELP IN IDENTIFYING ITEMS THAT I HAVE. I RECOMMEND HAVING THIS BOOK ALONG WITH MAYBE ONE OTHER ONE TO HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF FIESTA WARE.

Ordered this book to verify some of my pieces in order to sell them and it included great detail on the signatures on the underside of the pieces. It also covers specific glazes and production dates and was exactly what I needed. It a paperback, almost catalog style and has great images and information.

This book was like new even though it was sold as used. We were pleasantly surprised. I would buy from this seller again. Amazon has been a good source for many items in the past.

The book gives a good overview of the Fiesta dinnerware line. It covers the first run of Fiesta and helps identify the vintage pieces from the new. It gives a brief overview of some of the other "Fiesta" lines and its changes up to 1972 when the original production run ended. The price lists given are not representative of the current selling prices which are much lower than what the book states. The book is full of photographs that help identify the pieces, but it does a poor job of representing the true colors of Fiesta.

It was a very nice book with clear illustrations. However I did not find the info in it I was looking for. I was trying to identify weather or not my dishes were Fiestaware and it was of no help to me.
