Salt and Pepper Shakers by Gideon Bosker, Lena Lencek (1994, Paperback)

This book was purchased for use as a tool in my quest for additions to my collection of salt & pepper shakers.

It contains very few photographs of shaker sets which was very disappointing. Photos are the easiest way to match those in a collection since there are originals and some are reproductions made by different manufacturers in the marketplace. There are also close similarities and many different sets that may be confused as the subject set.

This identification publication may be useful for someone who is very familiar with shakers and has been involved for many years as the written descriptions
will make sense to them; but you still have to read the description which takes longer than an image.

The shaker sets are well described. The authors' introduction was delightful as well as informative.
A person serious about collecting salt & pepper shakers, or thinking about reselling on eBay, each and every book available on the subject should be considered as a good investment. This book offers good advice, information on various manufacturers as well as good written descriptions.

I certain have found it useful.
