Customer Reviews

My least favorite S&P book

There is knowledge to be gained from this book, but you have to dig for it. Virtually all of the photographs (where they exist at all) are in black & white. For the vast majority of shakers there is a written description and nothing else. I love Gideon Bosker’s other S&P books, but this one was a disappointment.

The READERS choice

I find many S & P sets in this book that I haven't been able to find in the "picture books". It may take a little longer to spot what you are looking for, but the shakers are arranged in sections that make research easier. If you are a word-nut, not a sight-reader, you will find this book a joy.
