The Huxford's book is still the best Fiestaware reference book on the market.

There are some new pictures that are really great, especially the one of the four shades of green which presents the colors much more accurately. It's too bad that the colors are mislabeled!

This edition also has some new/rare items listed.

So many dealers use this book for pricing pieces and with ECKware's Fiesta software referencing it too, it is a must have and well worth the money.

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!!

This is the most complete collection of Fiesta, Harlequin, Rivera, etc. around. The guide even includes a section on the "new" Fiesta. Overall, it is well written with a comprehensive and easy to follow price guide. The pricing guide also serves as an easy to use index. The pictures are top quality, although I wanted more of them. The picture of the medium green collection, left me forest green with envy.

I would have liked more information about ways to verify unmarked pieces. And, I would have liked to have seen more physical dimensions included. But, most bothersome is the error in labeling the Fiesta greens, which is sure to contribute to the general confusion about medium green.

All-in-all, this book is a really good effort and is an essential tool for any serious collector. It may not be perfect, but it's, by far, the best we've got. Can't wait for the 9th edition.
