A Classic! A must have. October 20, 2001

This is the Fiesta Bible... well done, a ton of information, good dependable price guide. Most Authors would have split this into two volumes and "padded" it. A great value!
Loved the new "Medium Green" Cover... it should stop some arguements with inexperienced Fiesta dealers over what is and what isn't Medium Green.
If you collect Fiesta, or if the edition you are using is the 7th or before, you should definately get this edition.

Was this book assembled in the authors' basement? September 27, 2001

Eager I went to my local borders today to pick up this great book right away. Paying full price nonetheless.
When I got home and read this book I was more than disappointed.
The pricelists are somewhat easy to use, however can get quiet confusing for a greenhorn of the OOOOOLLLLDDD Fiesta. There is a complete lack of Post86 Fiesta pricing. I feel this is very important for the collector with a light wallet. The authors' excuse is that it is near retail price.
I thought to myself, if this is supposed to be the bible of Fiesta why isn't this in here? Instead I have to hunt all over the internet to find pricelists.
It is filled with pictures of abnormal, fake and super rare items however. I enjoy the fact that this was valued important enough but personally do not agree that entire pages have to be dedicated to items that are limited to one piece only or so expensive that they are not affordable for the most part.
I think, the author should have used the pages for some Post86 information.
While speaking of waste of paper. When you reach page 16 you will suddenly skip to p49 thru 64 to then land back on page 33. then you will find pages 49-64 duplicated once more in the book in their right place. If you start looking for pages 17-32 stop looking they are simply not in the book (maybe the missing information on post86?) After 37 Typos/Spelling Errors I stopped counting. The pictures are not always with the corresponding article forcing you to jump around all over the book possible loosing your train of thought. Buy if it's a bargain but I would not pay more than $...for this book.

A Fiesta Bible June 9, 2001

As a new collector, I found this book invaluable as well as extremely interesting!! I would like to clear up one thing though for future readers of the Amazon review section on this book. MY review refers to the NINTH Edition. . .several reviews before mine, though listed under the NINTH Edition are actually referring to the EIGHTH Edition especially in reference to the mix up and mislabeling of the ever confusing "greens". In the NINTH Edition, on page 36 Plate #64. . the authors CLARIFY the error that appeared in the EIGHTH edition and using the same photo, have now labeled it correctly.

I also agree with some of the previous reviewers that perhaps in the TENTH edition (if there is to be one) the authors could spend a little more time and detail on identifying unmarked pieces. Otherwise, I found this book facsinating!!

4 out of 5 stars Worth it for the story alone, of course the rest helps. May 19, 2001

So what sets this book up to be any different than any other collectible book? "The Laughlin story" We came real close to calling this Shakespeare pottery. Just the history and the changing technology is worth reading about.

After that is my favorite. "That Radioactive Red"

As the title implies there are sections with stories on Harlequin, Riviera, and Kitchen Kraft

In the back there are suggested values and a list of Collector Books for further reading.

One major item, the pictures are in color.

5 out of 5 stars Goes beyond just listing prices April 29, 2001

Bob & Sharon Huxford's Collector's Encyclopedia Of Fiesta, 9th Edition deserves ongoing mention as a basic reference to Fiesta dishware. This goes beyond just listing prices; it provides short running histories of company developments and color choices.
