3.0 out of 5 stars Good pictures and layout, but pricing too high., October 8, 1999

By A Customer

This cookie jar book is a nice reference book to determine the maker of a certain jar, but for the most part the pricing is much higher than is represented in all other cookie jar books. This has hurt the average collector. I have books by four other authors and they are all pricing about the same, but this book in 30 to 40 per cent higher on many of the jars and more on some others.

By	Klassy Klutter (Northern Illinois) - See all my reviews

Excellent Reference Book with one of the largest picture listings that I have found. It has helped me MANY times in my search for information on cookie jars that I have purchased. Every collector of Cookie Jars ABSOLUTELY must have one of these books! You will not regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive look at cookie jar values - a good choice., November 1, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Northwestern USA) - See all my reviews

The Supnicks have a fine book available with a large selection of jars listed. I have several cookie jar books, and I would definitely recommend this above all others. However, values tend to indicate *high* book, and not necessarily what one can actually expect to bring in from the sale of their jar.
