Industrial designs common to nearly every household include toasters. In this book they are presented historically and visually through an amusing text and artistic photographs. The chapters present hundreds of toasters that pinch, whirl, slide, tip, flop, drop, and pop sliced bread through their mechanisms. Toaster manufacturers are identified and their markings, some now famous, are included. Collectors of toaster are becoming more numerous as some toaster designs are recognized as industrial art.

So Many Toasters...,
This review is from: Toasters 1909-1960: A Look at the Ingenuity and Design of Toaster Makers (Paperback)
Mr. Artman has compiled a fascinating book. Painstakingly researched, light-hearted presentation. Very enjoyable reading.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Stay Toasty,
This review is from: Toasters 1909-1960: A Look at the Ingenuity and Design of Toaster Makers (Paperback)
This is a very fun large-format reference book on electric toasters. The author includes many examples, organized by how they operate. (eg. Perchers, Pinchers, Flatbeds, Sliders and Drive Thru's.) Each example is photographed in black and white and is captioned with witty comentary. The author clearly loves his toast. My only small complaint is that the toasters are not listed in an index by make or model. This would help whever i find a new toaster i want to read about. This book rides in my car, Toaster.
