Post '86 Fiesta a fantastic Book!!!!

I found the book to be insightful and full of a plethora of information that experienced and new collectors could use. It is a worth while edition to any fiesta library. I also was thrilled to see the paintings of artist Philip Carroll in the book and on the back cover of paintings using fiesta. What a wonderful concept!

Wow, this book is a definite MUST!

I was very pleased w- this book! I have been a Fiesta collector for several years & found this book not only extremely informative, but a very useful tool too. The writing is superb! This book carries current values for lilac, sapphire, & other HTF pieces. Because post 86 Fiesta is currently in production & "readily available", I understand that it is impossible to put values on anything else. I was especially fascinated & intrigued with the many great pictures, espeically of the rare & morgue pieces. Overall, this book is the best post 86 book on the market; it is definitely a must have for any collector!!!

I LOVE this book!

If you collect Post 86 Fiesta, this book is for you. Unlike the first book written about Post 86 Fiesta that was full of "scandalous conspiracy theories," this book is full of interesting and factual information about the post 86 line. The book gives an interesting history about the reintroduction of Fiesta into the marketplace and of its creator, the late Jonathan Parry. I also found the information about Fiesta go alongs and decal items very interesting. My favorite chapter on prototypes is full of pictures of "never produced" items. If you want to know more about post 86 Fiesta, buy this book.
