I was not surprised at the abundance of toasters, since the title leads one to expect that. In addition to toasters, it contains a good assortment of other common and not-so-common electrical appliances of yesteryear and is therefore valuable as an identification guide. Values probably have changed a lot since the publication date, but the reader can still obtain a good feel for relative values. I did find one toaster whose information contradicted Helen Greguire's book on the subject (Sunbeam Model T-20) but was able to forgive the author who has provided another good resource.

Although a bit out of date, and using somewhat ordinary pictures, this gives a good overview and value comparison of many collectible toasters, waffle irons, and other small appliances. If you are fascinated by the variety and sometimes strangeness of what has been manufactured in early days of electrical appliances, this is a fun book.

Excellent selection of material, but a few too many toasters! However, I even found my waffle iron and egg cooker in here. The prices are a lot lower than my local dealers are asking.
