This book brought me back to a wonderful time in life of beautiful housewares :) I loved seeing the pictures and even still have and use some of the items in the book . I also like that the book is a smaller size I could take in my purse when antique shopping :) Thank you Brian Alexander for this wonderful reminder of happy times :)
I reccomend this book for anyone that collects 50's & 60's kitchen items and those who buy antiques. You will find wonderful pictures and the descriptions very helpful.
This book will have a front row place on my bookshelf so I can browse through it often.

I won this in the giveaway!

My mom and I love this book! We're huge fans of antique collectibles and especially ones for the kitchen. I will agree that some of the prices are a tad high and that you can find them cheaper elsewhere, but it makes a wonderful reference guide. Not to mention my grandmother loves going through it and reminiscing over certain items.

Thank you so much for the package, Brian! I'm looking forward to reading your other book as well. c:
