You can find this book at thrift stores quite often.

I pick a copy when I see them and give them away when I meet someone who needs this sort of book.

This book was a gift for my boyfriend accompanying a cocktail mixer. He read it and made a few drinks from this book already. This book organizes the drinks according the type of liquor inside the drink. They also have an index in case you are looking for a specific one. It has almost every drink you can think of! The front part of the book also tells you the utensils you need to make a bar and goes through the different type of liquors. I think it is very informative and useful! I think it is a bit hard to use while mixing drinks because it doesn't have a spiral bound. Thus, it won't be kept open to the page of the recipe when you are mixing.

Of all the coffee table books about record collecting in the last few years, this one stands out for its focus on the industry at large and how its changed.  This was key information for me as someone into music and collecting, because it sheds light on why things are the way they are and how we can expect they might be a few years down the line.  It's also a good size (thick, but not the size of a record on its face) and full of great looking sidebars and photos.

If you only get one - of the MANY - books for the record collector in your life, get this one.

This book has all the great toothpicks and pictures of the first

book. The pictures have been redone and are brighter and clearer.

Plus there are many new toothpicks and pictures for some that were just drawings in the first book. There is also a new contempory toothpick section and a section on foreign toothpicks.

I think the authors would have a grandslam if they would of expanded the section on newer reprodutions by the newer companies

and included information on how to rate the condition and how the condition affects value. Great must own for toothpick collectors.

I picked this up years ago and love it! I've found some of my favorite drinks because of this book. It has a great spiral spine so it stays open on the counter or table, it has some history of the alcohol, and it has some gorgeous pictures. Definitely a great companion for anyone who wants a small bartender's helper. The book measures about 6.25 by 6.25 inches.

As someone who has used chainsaws for more than 30 years, this book has a place in my library.  It is illustrated with pictures of old saws made pre-war and more importantly, post-war.  I did not anticipate the reaction I got from visitors not normally inclined to read books in my household; they were ecstatic that such a book was in print and one actually swore he would "hang to that McCulloch 10-10 a bit longer."  (The McCulloch 10-10 is a saw made in the 1960s and was in production for over 20 years; McCulloch and Homelite, sadly, no longer produce professional saws worthy of the name.)  Today antique saws are becoming collectibles and this book helps; it is also a trip down memory lane for the old-timers.

This new book by the authors Smith and Wafford picks up where the old "blue" book stops. This book contains practically all new pictures and items which were not in the old book. Based on the title "The Book of Wagner & Griswold" the majority of the book contains information about Wagner. There is 124 pages which deal with Wagner Ware. The information contained is solid and not to be found anywhere else. Once again, this book becomes the Bible for collecting old cookware.  The information on Griswold is not nearly as as long as Wagner. It is only 75 pages. There are many new items in this book which was not in the other books. There is quite a bit of information about aluminum Griswold items which is very helpful if you are collecting this type of cookware.  Finally the sections on Martin Stove, Lodge, Axford, Vollrath and Excelsior(G.F.Filley) is great! For each manufacture it gives the history along with photo's/prices. Super information which I have not found anywhere else. I think this book is a "must have" for the cookware collector. It is a good companion book to "The Book of Griswold & Wagner." To be fully informed you really need both books. I have found these books by Smith and Wafford to be pretty close in the values of various items. Although variances do exist I have found these to be the closest out of all the cast iron collectable books available. I keep both of these books next to my computer and refer to them almost daily when shopping the internet for cast iron.  A++++

Just about everything you would want to know about bottles is in this book.  This is the reference book you'll need either as a collector of bottles or someone who is that occasional treasure hunter / storage auction buyer who runs across a collection of bottles.  With this book, you'll know if you have something to explore further.  5 stars

So many uses, so little time.  Full of ideas for stained glass projects, wood carving, drawing, etc.  A good book to add to my collection.

I own the 2002 version of this almost pocket-sized book published by Beverage Media Group. The binding is nearly torn off I have found so much use for it.  If the Oxford Companion to Wine is the must have encyclopedic reference book then the Professional Wine Reference is the must have miniature reference book.  You can take it with you anywhere and look up a map of Alsace, information on the Jura or the meaning of Recioto all on a moments notice. It's your pint sized ticket to sounding smart about wine!

This book is somewhat dated but I was amazed at the number of different letter openers are in it.

25 COOL THINGS TO DO WITH WINE BOTTLES,  on mine reading book.

 This is my first experience with Kindle and other devices for online book. It's easier to do than I thought. I've stayed away from them because I was scared to use them. This book has given me the opportunity to learn and it only took minutes.  Now I'll probably end up with a collection of online reading.
 I've seen people decorate with these wine bottles and it's always been so pretty. But I wasn't creatative  enough to figure out ways of doing it myself. This book has given me a lot of ways to use my bottles. They're all very creative and easy to do. You just have to do a lot of drinking to get to them. That can be fun. The writer of the book has done a lot of research and has a lot of creative  thoughts. It has shown me small projects to larger projects. Have your friends save their bottles  because you're going to see a lot of things that you're going to want to do but you won't have enough bottles to do it. There are smaller scale projects to do also. I will be doing a lot of these overtime and I'll add photographs as  I finish projects.
I recommend the purchase/download of the online book.  I believe it's free for everyone. Not sure so double check when you order.  I received this free to give my honest review on.
