3.0 out of 5 stars
Helpful but overly repetitive in content,
By A Customer
This review is from: 1001 Salt & Pepper Shakers (Paperback)
Book contents include Black Americana and Natives, Cat Characters, Niagara Falls and Mermaids. I enjoy most Salt and Pepper Shaker pictorial price guides, however, I was disappointed in the overall content of this book. In many instances they illustrate the identical set of salt and pepper shakers (i.e. style/size/age) in a variety of colors. The space would have been better utilized showing a larger variety of sets and when applicable explaining that identical sets in different colors retain identical values. The photographs are very helpful, however, some of the Black Americana pictures tend to be a bit dark and lose detail. Prices listed are helpful when identifying the value of your collection, or looking for that great bargain.

A MUST Have Resource For Any Salt and Pepper Shaker Collector,
This review is from: 1001 Salt & Pepper Shakers (Paperback)
Wonderful Book!
The book is compiled by former founders and Presidents of the Novelty Salt & Pepper Shakers Club and I find this resource to be exceptional and one of the best books about salt and pepper shakers with a special focus on Black Americana - Black Memorabilia salt and pepper shakers (the first 90 pages is all Black Americana and Natives shakers). Though this book was published in 1994 and it is now 2010 as of the writing of this review the book includes a price guide and 1,500+ photos and a variety of shaker sizes, colors, dates, country of manufacture and price guide included. You will see large clear photos and learn information about shakers made by Miyao, Miyao Japan, Made In Japan, Pre-WWII era shakers, Enesco shakers, Van Tellingen shakers, Fitz and Floyd, Made in Germany shakers, Goebel salt and pepper shakers, American Bisque shakers, Aunt Jemima salt and pepper shakers, Uncle Mose salt and pepper shakers, Luzianne Coffee Salt and Pepper shakers, F&F Mold Dayton Ohio shakers, Ceramic Arts Studio rare salt and pepper shakers, Nodders, Napco salt and pepper shakers, National Potteries shakers and so much more! If you can get your hands on a copy do so as it is a MUST for any collector. []
