I'm very interested in kitchen collectibles, especially the 1930's. This book has great pictures and plenty of them. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in vintage home collectibles.

I am the author of Hot Kitchen & Home Collectibles.......this book is selling very, very well, and is adored by readers all over the country. Take a look at reviews on Amazon. You will love this book if you love retro kitchens. I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinions, but the eBayer who was disappointed in Hot Kitchen & Home Collectibles is in a category all by themselves. Read on and you will see what I mean.......................Dia

I couldn't wait to get this book so I put it on reserve until it was released. Though I sell vintage kitchen collectibles in my online store Yesterday's Kitchens and Collectibles, I am also a collector myself. I was able to identify some obscure pieces I have through Dianne's photographs and descriptions. But the book is just a joy to read. The photographs are so bright and clear, and larger than you usually find in collectibles books. This makes it very easy to see fine detailing and patterns that oftentimes don't show up clearly in other books.
The book is also a pleasure to browse through if you were a mother, grandmother, or child during these eras. My own mother found it so much fun to look through and point out all the items either she or her mother had during those years. And fun to look at all the things she had forgotten about! This is going to be one those books that gets dog-eared quickly!
More Than A Reference Book, December 12, 2006

This is absolutely more than a reference book. The photography and script drew me into the actual era and times and made me want more. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's absolutely wonderful. I've read it three times now and each time I come away with new information and different feelings. I can honestly say that I have never felt this way about any other reference book I have read. I do hope you'll be writing more.
Memory Lane Revisited, December 27, 2006

Not just for collectors, though the photo quality and layout make it a breeze to find your area of interest. This is a delightful peek into the parlor (and magazines) of the era, fun for anyone who used a kitchen in the 30s to 50s, or anyone trying to explain to their grandkids what a breadbox looked like. Bright, accessible, comprehensive, nostalgic and entertaining. A great book to spark a flood of memories from the grandparents.

Not What It Looks Like!

Grant you I feel the seller is not aware that the book is misleading as it really is. The cover sells it self and yes inside the cover it is stamped book being released to resale due to excessive stock by Seller with copy right. I believe I explained this right.
The book was not about Kitchen and Home Collectibles, but more about magazine photos of items as well old advertisement of card board examples of Kitchen and Home Items. My feeling is the book was a poor example from the start and explains why it was not a good seller to people that had the opportunity to look through it before deciding to purchase it.
Thanks for this opportunity.
