I really love all the pictures and the historical information about the different cats & their design and colors. I bought it because I collect Fenton glass cats. It is a lot to ask, but I wish it had something about the painters - the people whose signatures are on the base of the handpainted cats. Still a great book, now available at a good price (I'd guess a new edition may come out soon, but some of the pix & information in this book will probably be left out to make space for developments in the last 10 yrs.)
Best book out there by far for anyone who collects Fenton cats. Because the book is copyright 2002 any cat or dog prior is pretty much there. Wonderful history and fantastic pictures. I have used my book over and over again and so will you if you purchase it. If you collect the dogs it only covers the puppies and the Scotties, but if you are a cat lover go and get it! I purchased this book because I need more information on the collection I had and the cats that I wanted to collect. Just wait till you see the photos, terrific book.
I love the fact that the pictures are in color and show types besides each other to help you identify what you have. It will show a cat or dog unpainted and then several ways they painted them. It is in my opinion a nescessity for a beginning collector of cats or dogs, like myself and would be useful as a reference book for a more experienced collector. I'm just wondering if they have a volumne II for 2001 to 2010 cats. I bought the book on recomendation from veteran Fenton collectors that suggested it and I'm glad I did.
This book is the BEST Purchase I could have made! I have only had it 2 days & I am 100 times more knowledgable already! This Book is a MUST HAVE for the Fenton Cat & Dog Collector & Seller it has ALL the info needed such as Name of Cat or Dog Years made, in line or not in line, who the the Cat or Dog was made for. If it is Limited I don't think there is a detail Missed. If you are a Serious Buyer or Seller GET THIS BOOK! I wished I had it a few Hundred Dollars Ago or a series of Cats I lost that went low & the Cats I sold to low! GET THIS BOOK! I have gotten more than my 17.99 out of it!
Great book with great information.
