[Wawawai Yakawawa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great resource book, full of pictures and brief descriptions of Hotchkiss staplers (and more - Jones Manufacturing, Compo Manufacturing, and Star). Parsons also wrote about variations of the staplers (with more pictures) and informs readers about the rarity of many of the models/variations. This book is welcomed to those who appreciate old office supplies, and is a must for those who collect staplers.
