 Great Reference Book January 20, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I really love this book. I've used it many times to find the names of patterns I have from years of estate sales to sell on e-Bay. Great work.
Definately worth the price April 17, 2002

A wonderful beautifully done book.This is a great book for looking up patterns. There are plenty of color photos which show great detail. I plan on buying the previous and subsequent volumns of this book.

While the book was somewhat helpful with listing the various companies, it was very short in pattern names, examples and pricing.
An amateur attempt with good photos December 14, 1999
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
Other than the photos, there isn't much here. It's very amateurish. Whole categories are missing -- there is barely a mention of "Fiesta" at all. Makes you think the publisher had an arrangement so as not to infringe on sales of their Fiesta books. There is no mention of Metlox. Also, while there is a price guide, it only lists the specific pieces that are shown in the photos, not all the pieces in the line. This is a major shortcoming. There should be some mention of pieces not shown. The book is also poorly organized, with ads from old magazines interspersed with original writing. It reminds me of an 8th grade book report. Spend your money elsewhere.
 This encyclopedia has neither depth nor breadth. August 19, 1999

The title of this book implies that it is an all-encompassing American dinnerware reference work. However, it is sadly lacking in both breadth and depth. Any collector would be well advised to look elsewhere. This work is so superficial that it is virtually useless.
