5.0 out of 5 stars Need to know information from cover to cover....., December 2, 1999

By 

David Wesneski - See all my reviews

This review is from: Collectors Encyclopedia of Cookie Jars (Hardcover)

The Enyclopedia is well written in an easy to read and understand format.....Starting with the Intro and Hints to collectors, the authors relay their extensive knowledge to the reader...including their views on what to collect and how to collect in the world of cookie jars.....The full color photos of the jars are very helpful in identifying your next find when you go cookie jarrin' at the weekend flea market....In fact, I have all three books of the Collector's Encyclopedia of Cookie Jars.....I enjoy these books a great deal and they make great gifts for the collector in your family.

2.0 out of 5 stars Collector's Encyclopedia of Cookie Jars, Book III, October 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Collector's Encyclopedia of Cookie Jars, Book III (Hardcover)

This book was not helpful at all. I have many older McCoy cookie jars and none of them were listed. This book mainly has new cookie jars listed. So if you are looking for a price guide for older jars this is not the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shows many different name brands, March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Collector's Encyclopedia of Cookie Jars, Book III (Hardcover)

This book is very good for finding name brands, but it does not concentrate on a wide showing of each type. It is a helpful book for newer jars.
