As someone who collects Kodak cameras, this book - while hard to find - is worth every penny. Coe's resources from being curator of the Kodak museum are perhaps the most enviable of any camera collector. While not every model is chronicled, a serious attempt has been made to provide an impressive amount of domestic AND foreign models. This contrasts McKeown's Price Guide in that McKeown primarily lists domestics. I was pleasantly surprised to know that there were many foreign models which I still require to complete my collections. jdfix@thompson-grp.com (Joe Fix)

The accuracy of the information about Kodak cameras is the best there is! It's an invaluable resource about the history of Kodak cameras. Almost all the cameras made, around the world, are listed with manufacturing, film types, production years, etc.......info with great images. This is a first quality book.
I've used it as one of the main resources for creating The Brownie Camera Page website.
It's not a book to find the value or worth of these cameras but to find out the factual history.

Along with the Kodak book by Jim McKeown, the information on Kodak cameras in Brian Coe's book is an invaluable resource about the history of those cameras. An amazing assortment of Kodak cameras are listed, with an tremendous amount of detail on production years, film sizes, etc. It's not concerned with value as much as production history, which is often information that is hard to find. If you collect vintage Kodak cameras, or just have an interest in their history, this is a valuable addition to your library.

Excellent reference for Kodak cameras for anyone into photography especially for one that, like me, collects vintage cameras.

Well worth the price if you can find it.

This book is a great resource for the Kodak Camera Collector. Easy to follow, lots of illustrations and helpfull information to identify vintage cameras. I have just started collecting Kodak cameras and found this book along with the "Collectors Guide to Kodak Cameras" a paperback by Jum & Joan McKeown very usefull in identifying years and camera types.

I ordered the item 11/19 and have not received it yet. I know it said may not received before Christmas. This is my review at this time.
