Dodge puts admirable effort into presenting a collection of excellently preserved tin cans. However, I cannot recommend the result to the serious researcher! The descriptive information was not useful. Yes, the photos are "pretty" to look at, but if your interest is in manufacturing dates or length of use, this book will only disappoint. The book's descriptions gave only manufacturer and estimated value - not date or patent information. I bought this book because the title "Antique Tins" seemed to suggest it would provide useful information, but that is not the case. I returned the book.

Absolutely great for tin collectors. Great pictures, acurate values. Love it.

I was unaware that this book was so old. I guess I should have looked at it better, it's up for sale.

Dodge Books II (1998) and III (1999) are already in print. You folks are not staying abreast of the field.

Very informative for identification of tins and their values. Would highly recommend this book to all. Great color and photography. Quite evident that a lot of foresight and hard work went into making this book what it is, the leader in the field of tins. A must for all collectors.
