The Standard Fruit Jar Reference by Dick Roller (1983, Book, Illustrated)

This book is without a doubt the BEST reference book ever published on fruit jars! Mr. Roller was an extremely thorough researcher and took great pains to make sure everything he printed was backed up with proof of some sort. Because of a very limited first printing, this book is extremely difficult to find in either the hardbound or spiral bound versions but worth every penny. If you want the best, the most thorough, and the most complete information about old fruit jars and the hobby in general, then this book is a must for any serious fruit jar collector.
