You'll find all kinds of shakers in this excellent reference. They're grouped alphabetically, from Animals to World's Fair. There are listings by subject matter and by material. There is an excellent section on glass shakers, including Depression, Elegant, and kitchenware examples. Altogether, over 3,000 different shakers have been pictured. Dealers and collectors alike should find it a very useful book. The pictures, in full color, are excellent and the format is easy to use. This is a remaindered book which has been discounted, due to either publisher overstock or to minor cosmetic damage. From inside cover: This book has been sold by the publisher / distributor at a reduced wholesale price for one of the following reasons: shipping damage, new edition has been released, out of print, too few available to advertise."
