Did you ever wonder how your kitchen became what it is today? No matter what style or period it is, this book will help you to understand your kitchen better. It may leave you delighted with what you have or imagining how it could be improved. It may also leave you thrilled with the character of an old kitchen and willing to put up with its impracticality in order to maintain the integrity of your house. Everybody has a relationship of one sort or another with a kitchen. For most of us, it's intimate and occurs multiple times on a daily basis. In this book, Nancy Hiller will introduce you to your kitchen's past and its development with well-written, intelligent prose and excellent illustrations. This is a book to read, to share and to keep.

A well written, accurate and beautifully illustrated book. I purchased The Hoosier Cabinet in Kitchen History by Nancy Hiller as a gift for my wife. Not only did the item arrive on time, but she has not laid it down since its arrival.

A `Must read' for all those folks who have a Hoosier, or who enjoy reading about family kitchens of the past!

I ordered this book in hopes of acquiring more information on Seller's Hoosier cabinets. While this book is informative I just couldn't get into Ms. Hiller's style of writing. I finally just looked up the pages that referred to the Seller's cabinet and read those and looked at the photos. It does offer lots of insight into the lives of families at the time of the Hoosier heyday, it was not what I was looking for as far as brand information. It is a nicely presented hardback book but with few color photos.
