Customer Reviews

Great book! You are able to track down most kitchen items .
This is the second edition of her book. I also have the first which came out in 1984.These two books are about the best kitchen books I have seen. I have 84 antique price guides and I rate this one the best for kitchen items. She covers a large range of items from griswold to nutmeg graters. I have been able to trace down things in her book which I haven't even seen in any others.I have been collecting Kitchen items for 25yrs and she has been a great help. I highly recommend her book.Thanks, and good hunting to the rest of you.

Thorough, informative, full of photographs and drawings.
This text is quite thorough and includes many photographs and diagrams. I have numerous similar books of antiques and this is one of the best ones. It is also one of the most interesting and informative books on antique kitchen utensils that I have read. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in kitchen collectibles and antiques.
