Navarre: By Fostoria

Summary: Must-Have for Glass/Crystal Collectors Library
Review: Browsing internet auctions led me to this wonderful reference book! I am an inveterate collector, and over the years have enjoyed learning about and gathering many wonderful items. I knew Fostoria Navarre was a quality crystal glassware,having chosen it as my "crystal pattern" in the early 70's. I also knew that eventually Lenox bought the rights to this pattern, and that it had been unavailable for several years. Navarre:by Fostoria is truly an impressive resource in that it it gives a thorough history,and technical information in an interesting and very readable format. The authors proceed in great detail to give a complete pattern history, in short, everything you could ever want to know about about Navarre, and more! There is a complete price guide and great cross-references.Last but not least, the illustrations, drawings and photographs are plentiful and a huge help! I am so glad I added this book to my reference library, and would highly recommend it to anyone with similar interests.

Summary: A must have for those interested in Navarre!
Review: I have had a few pieces of Fostoria Navarre for years and recently decided to expand my collection. This book is invaluable as it shows all known pieces in the pattern as well as the history of the glassmaking process and the Fostoria company. I feel like a much better educated collector now--the book was well worth the price!
