5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, very well done., October 3, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legend of Stanley : 150 Years of the Stanley Works (Hardcover)
I thought this was one of the best books I've read recently. I first picked it up because I enjoy woodworking and Stanley tools are something I learned to admire from my dad. As an entrepreneur, I found the story of a small company growing into a world class leader very interesting. The author did a great job of bringing history to life. The pictures from the past were fascinating. This is the kind of book you're proud to have on your bookshelf. I found it very well written and nicely put together. If you're interested in American history, business, or tools, this is a great book to own. I would highly recommend it

This review is from: The Legend of Stanley : 150 Years of the Stanley Works (Hardcover)
Its a great historical record of the Stanley Tool Co. However I was looking for more about the individual product (tool) history and specs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Legend of Stanley, April 5, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legend of Stanley : 150 Years of the Stanley Works (Hardcover)
For the die-hard collector of antique tools, this book tells the behind-the-scenes story of empire building in Early America. Form the simplest manufacturing of a better mouse-trap, the lowly hinge, to a continental grasp of the hardware market. A marvelous journey of belief in the best of the free enterprise system and what rewards await a dedication to quality and perseverance. A classic of entreprenuership in our society.
