In this book, Toulouse made an attempt to catalog all known fruit-jar manufacturer's marks. The work is impressive. --Society for Historical Archaeology Newsletter

This review is from: Fruit Jars: A Collectors' Manual (Paperback)
My husband is the collector but I've seen the books he has had to deal with in the past. This book is by far the best reference that helps the novice to advanced collector.

This review is from: Fruit Jars: A Collectors' Manual (Paperback)
I was disappointed to find a soft cover and not the latest edition - if there was one. It was no different from the hardcover edition we already had. I returned it and was satisfied with how that was handled.

I like the book very much but the price of the book was to much for the condition it was in.
