"Liberty Blue Dinnerware", by Debbie and Randy Coe, is a very special read for collectors of Liberty Blue Ironstone. I have this dinnerware, and it is really beautiful--so much deep blue! It has great sentimental value because Mom and I collected the pieces each week from the local A&P grocery store during the Bicentennial Era of the late 1970's. The pieces were just 69 cents each! I only have the plates, saucers, small bowls, and teacups, I would love to have a complete set which includes the serving pieces. This book is very informative about the beginnings of Liberty Blue in 1975 when it was commissioned by the Benjamin Franklin Savings & Loan to offer to account holders in celebration of the S&L's 50th anniversary. Historic scenes from Colonial America are depicted in detailed artwork on each piece. The book is filled with photos and illustrations, including the original advertisements run by the S&L. I was amazed to see the extensive variety of the pieces which goes way beyond my collection, and it made long to collect some of those unique items. Whether you are a Liberty Blue collector, a history buff, or are enamored of Americana, you will greatly enjoy this book.
