While I am not a collector, I truly appreciated the artful display and extensive variety of handkerchiefs in this feature. It touched a chord from my childhood of memories of the influential women in my life (from relatives to the good Dominican nuns at school) and the delightful little "hankies" they all seemed to mysteriously keep tucked up their sleeves. How interesting to see the authors track the development of the various types and designs.

This collector's guide is full of good information, and the photos are phenomenal! I was looking for more history, I guess, but the book is exactly what the title claims. Well written and fun to read.

This book gives lots of information about companies and patterns. The prices are not really realistic some low some high but the information the book is great.Handkerchiefs: A Collector's Guide (Identification & Values)

Great reference book, and interesting to see the popularity of vintage Hankies from the mid century(1940's to 70's)....both as a necessity and as a popular afordable gift item....
I have well over 200 Hankies in my own collection and I treasure each & everyone. I am espceially fond on the intact 'boxed' hankies that were probablly given as a gift....and never used. Pitty....
The book is delightful to relax with and see the miryad of different types of hankies from delicate, fancy, kitschie and souviengers ....
I am truly enjoying this book.

Read this little gem of a book cover to cover - just got into collecting vintage handkerchiefs and this book is a great resource. A wonderful addition to my library.
