The BEST Doorstop reference book ever!! We own two copies--one for the car and one for the house. TONS of information-- history, foundries, designers,catalogue pages, plus over 1000 fabulous clear LARGE pictures. My wife and I can't put it down--we just love it. These authors have done their homework for sure!

At last, a good reference book--well-organized, beautifully photographed and MOST informative. Anyone who collects figural iron needs this book.

HIGHLY INFORMATIVE. SUPERB PICTURES. KUDOS TO THE AUTHORS ON A JOB WELL-DONE. GREAT REFERENCE FOR ALL CAST IRON.

The book is appropriately sub-titled "The Encyclopedia of Doorstop Collecting" It covers a vast amount of information, history, general information, with well photographed examples--over 1000, most I had never known existed. I am thrilled to have this in my library.

Very well written. The most complete book that I've seen on this subject yet. The autrhors certainly know their subject.

This is an excellent reference book with more pictures, more information, more everything than the other doorstop ref books I have. Worth the money!

This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in figural cast iron. The authors provide informative historical information, as well as outstanding photos and product information. The most accurate and valuable resource for collectors to date.

This is one of the most informative and detailed doorstop books to date.

For those of you who deal in the "Cast Arts", this book is a must have. Clearly written for the layman doorstop collector, lots and lots of crisp and clear photos of the ultra rare to the not so. A section in the front that gives a brief history of the larger casting houses, with a few reprinted catalogs and price lists. Great giude for the field hunter!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST DOORSTOP BOOK. TONS OF INFORMATION AND PICTURES. EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN AND RESEARCHED. INCLUDES FOUNDRIES, DESIGNORS, HISTORIES, ETC. PICTURES ARE FANTASTIC. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS INCREDIBLE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!
