I just discovered a brand new reference book for older (1645-1900) cast iron and hollowware. I haven't ordered it. I was wondering if anyone thought it might be worth it.

Looks like it was published in January 2014. I'm curious about it also. We have a Barnes & Noble here so I may go looking for it tomorrow.

As far as I know there was a delay and it is not available yet.

Internet chatter has been that orders directly from Schiffer Publishing are being filled. Ever heard of the Author?
According to the bio on Publishers site, he worked right here in Harrisburg, at the State Museum. And lives in Larry & Sue's town.

I ordered it from Amazon. Just checked and it is slated for delivery at the end of March to the middle of June.

Greg, Are you going to be selling these books?

Jim Fuchs · « **Reply #6 on:** February 01, 2014, 11:31:08 AM »

The author lives close to Larry & Sue. Larry talked with him about 5 months ago. We tried to get him to join WAGS and come to give a workshop, but he said he wasn't ready, he was still working on the book at that time. Delivery has been delayed as Tom mentioned. He is going to visit Larry & Sue to see them.

Cheryl, did Walmart cancel your order?

Cheryl Watson · « **Reply #11 on:** February 01, 2014, 04:23:14 PM »

Not yet... that I know of... ~~let me go check my account~~!
Still shows as processing... I'll let you know if I hear anything...

Tom Neitzel · « **Reply #12 on:** February 01, 2014, 06:05:26 PM »

When I just looked, Wallmart said PreOrder, shipping 2/28/14.

Roger Barfield · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2014, 07:15:32 PM »

I got this in an email from Amazon

Estimated arrival date: March 25, 2014 - May 27, 2014

Cheryl Watson · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2014, 07:24:18 PM »

Neil, my purchase is still showing as processing, but given it is pre-order, it will probably continue to state that.

The expected ship date is 2/28, and my order shows it will be delivered March 4.

I checked my credit card, and that amount is showing as a hold....

So I assume good to go, unless notified otherwise.

I just ordered mine from Barnes & Noble. I'll see when I get my confirmation when they expect to deliver it.

Jim Glatthaar · « **Reply #16 on:** February 02, 2014, 01:29:52 AM »

Update: the e-mail confirmation listed a shipping date of February 5, 2014. We'll see if that happens. :o

Tom Neitzel · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2014, 07:41:21 AM »

Just got a notice from Amazon that mine has been shipped and should be delivered Friday, the 21st.

I received my "Early American Cast Iron Hollowware" book today from Barnes & Noble on line. It is completely different from the Blue Book & Red Book, it focuses on pre-Wagner & Griswold pieces, it doesn't contain prices and it really more of a history book than a collector's guide (but since none of us are collectors why would we need another collector's reference book?. :o

Got mine yesterday as well.
