The Collector's Encyclopedia of Fiesta, with Harlequin and Riviera: Sharon and Bob Huxford

I purchased ALOT of books......almost every book was mint condition or excellent condition......99.9% of the books came DAMAGED!! Bent corners ++++++, bent spines...some pages undone!! I was HORRIFIED that I had purchased super quality conditon books ( at a higher price of course.) and left with severely damaged books EXCEPT for ONE..... That book actually was sent to me in a box!!! WHAT A CONCEPT!!. Not some flimsy plastic piece of junk shipping bag!!! Here, let's ship books in plastic bags!!!. Not a surprise everything was damaged so severely!!! i cannot purchase from them any longer and what a shame!

Whether you have 2 pieces or 200 pieces of Fiestaware, this is the best handbook around. The Huxfords explain Fiestaware's history thoroughly. The collector will also be grateful for the many beautiful pix and credible pricing guidelines. As my dog-eared copy can attest, the guidebook will become your best friend when Fiesta shopping! I give this book a 10, but I hope the next edition - which is rumored to be out in 1998 - will address the new Fiesta line as some colors are now very collectible.
