Summary: This is not a complete guide to Fiesta Ware
Review: First off Fiesta is beautiful, but the photographs in this book are terrible!!! Not one photograph shows an accurate depiction of the subject. Many photographs seem blurred or fuzzy.
Pass this by and get "Fiesta, Harlequin, and Kitchen Kraft Dinnerwares" by The Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association. You will not ne disappointed....unless you purchase Warman's book.

Summary: Skip this book and get the Huxfords' Guide
Review: I love all things Fiesta, but this book is terrible. My main complaint is the "quality" of the photographs. They are so grainy-- sort of clear but fuzzy at the same time. And the color is way off. I mistook several pictures of gray Fiestaware for lilac at first glance! So forget about his "comparison" of the greens because it will not help you. What gets me is that any crap digital camera would have done a better job but from the reflections in the dishes it looks like he had a professional shoot the pictures. By the way, I also completely ignored the text (even though it is in LARGE print), since the Huxfords' book and the HLCCA's book cover everything. The bottom line: don't waste your time or money.

Summary: This is not a complete guide to Fiesta Ware
Review: It is difficult to determine if you have green, med green or forest green items by comparing to the color photos in this book. It is not a complete guide to Fiesta Ware. It is more of a picture book/overview. A lot has been left out. It does provide some limited information and pricing. No pricing on post '86 pieces.I would not recommend this book if you want to educate yourself on Fiesta Ware.
