This review is from: Unauthorized Guide and Values to Snap-On Collectibles: 1920-1998 (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)

I was not happy with this book for a small time collector that I am. I collect many things and one of them being Snap-On (items). I found in this book with Tools ONLY being about 10 pages of pictures not enough about these items as well as many items that have been left out. The same go's for these other two catagories. Tool Boxes ONLY about 6 pages and Commemorative items only about 8 pages. I understand we can not meet ever catagory for ever collector in the Snap-On world. But it should have been covered alot more and or better on it. It was NOT just the above mentioned catagory that I found this it was as well as other catagories not mentioned in this book. Also I notice not much information was spoken on most of the items in this book. Such as how many have been made, They should of shown the diffrent types of commemoratives items, tools,tool boxes,ect. that Snap-On put out. Well you be the judge of it for youself. I wasn't happy with this book for the price, nor with Caroline's imput. I guess that's why it's called UNAUTHORIZED guide to Snap-On.
