For Early Office Equipment Collectors,

This review is from: Office Collectibles: 100 Years of Business Technology (Hardcover)
This is a nice book with some great photos but is very short on actual information. It would have been nice to see at least a sentence or two for each item describing when and possibly how it was used. Patent dates and manufacturing company info would also have been nice. And seriously, an entire book about office collectibles and not a single word or photo about staplers? The book overall is disappointing but does have lots of nice photos. The photo descriptions give you about as much info as you would gleam from just looking at the actual object though. So, if you're looking for nice pics this is the book for you. If you're looking for actual helpful info, try the Early Office Museum website.
