FRANCISCAN DINING SERVICES – A Comprehensive Guide with Values
by Jeffrey Snyder, Schiffer Publishing Ltd., PA, 1996.
In addition to marks and patterns, this book covers the history of the Gladding McBean (GMB) Franciscan Company and pictures the many products produced by this firm.  In addition to the Desert Rose pattern, this text reviews other well-known patterns such as Apple, Strawberry, October, Poppy, and more.   The book also covers many of the less known patterns.  “The primary focus of this book is the American-made Franciscan, although we have tried to encompass the full spectrum of their other chinaware including lines that were produced in Japan such as Cosmopolitan China, Whitestone ware, Franciscan Porcelain, and Fine Bone China and their English Ironstone patters made in England.”
