Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Long before the current "coffee craze," collectors were fascinated with the world of coffee. This colorful, expansive book explores over a thousand antiques with more than 500 color photographs. From grinders to coffee cans, posters to coffee makers, this is a varied collection of over 100 years of coffee antiques from around the world, ranging from the most mundane to the most exotic. The grinder collection alone is the most extensive ever published. The items in each photo are carefully described, and a current market value is given for each. This book is an invaluable reference guide for coffee lovers and for collectors of country store memorabilia and antique advertising.

About the Author

Ed has been an avid collector of coffee antiques for 21 years. Douglas Congdon-Martin has written numerous books about country store antiques and advertising. He resides in southeast Pennsylvania.

5.0 out of 5 stars Picture Pretty Antiques, July 24, 2000
This is a beautifully-illustrated book and one my husband will treasure as one of his favorites. He recently started collecting old coffee mills so I bought this one for him as a surprise gift to get him started. He immediately started looking through it and FOUND the "two" grinders he has at this point. Boy, was he excited! I think I have created a "millaholic" as a result of buying him this book. The pictures and accompanying text are extremely helpful in the identifcation of many mills. We highly recommend it for the beginning collector. There's something in it for everyone from the pricey floor grinders to mills for the modestly pocketed collector, plus it also has an accompanying array of pictures of coffee makers and coffee memorabilia. Great book -- wish they would come out with a follow-up.

If anyone knows of any other coffee mill/grinder antique books that are out there and available would you let me know. I am on another quest.

Thanks ...
