4.0 out of 5 stars Collecting S&Ps, August 25, 2008

This review is from: Collecting Salt & Pepper Shaker Series (Salt and Pepper Shaker Series) (Paperback)

I have only a fraction of the author's 15,000 sets of S&Ps, but think I have a nice collection of Occupied Japan, Japan, USA, & German sets. The book had a lot of S&Ps made in China, Korea, & Taiwan, which I do not personally collect. The book was informative, the photography very nice, but the book is not my favorite for my collecting purposes.
