Early American Copper, Tin & Brass: Hancrafted Metalware from Colonial Times (Henry Kauffman Collection)

Good and very informative.

Great and informative.

The table of contents indicates that there should be at least 112 pages in this book, as the Bibliography begins on page 112; however, there are only 107 printed pages in the paperback version. Vital information on Coppersmiths and Braziers, Brass Founders, and Tinsmiths is also missing from this book according to the table of contents.

Unfortunately, the author knows more than your average expert. When you correct someone and tell them it is a cramped joint not a dovetailed joint down the side of that pot, it's rough when he can site books considered tops in the field stating the contrary. Still the items shown are unique, the content informative and I am glad to have this book in my collection.
