Not a Bad Little Book,
By
This review is from: Early American Copper, Tin and Brass: Hand-Crafted Metalware from Colonial Times (Henry Kauffman Collection) (Paperback)
Unfortunately, the author knows more than your average expert. When you correct someone and tell them it is a cramped joint not a dovetailed joint down the side of that pot, it's rough when he can site books considered tops in the field stating the contrary. Still the items shown are unique, the content informative and I am glad to have this book in my collection.
