“Well documented. A good read so far. Definitely let’s me know what I have in terms of Christmas ornaments and how old they are. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of ornaments, especially Shiny Brite ornaments. I am sure many will be surprised as to what may be sitting in their attic or elsewhere. A lot of value for the price.”
“The book was a non stop treasure of the history of Christmas decorating. The owners and connected famlies in the sale fields. Not only for the Christmas collector but a good study on how businesses work and survive over years.”
“It is a nice biographical book on the families that created and promoted glass Christmas tree ornaments. I thought the last pages of pictures and descriptions of ornaments was the most valuable for me.”
“This is a wonderfully detailed record of the story behind beloved Christmas staples. Good for anyone interested in antique and vintage Christmas traditions, and the history of immigrants and industry.”
“Information and history is a very interesting read, great book.”
“Well researched and informative on Christmas decorations sold in the USA.”
