Book Description
Collecting insulators is synonymous with collecting history. Ever since the first telegraph line was constructed by Samuel Morse in 1844, glass, plastic, and other insulators have played an important part in our technological society. They have made it possible to carry telegraph, telephone, and electrical power lines over vast distances, connecting the nation and the world. This is the first book ever to graphically demonstrate the hundreds of beautiful colors to be found on insulators throughout the world. There are over seven hundred color photographs, each with a descriptive caption to guide both the beginner and advanced collector through a huge assortment of designs and manufacturers. Each photograph carries a current value for the item shown. No other book captures the beauty found within this colorful and historical hobby.

excellent reference April 6, 2008
This is a must have for insulator collectors. My husband loves this book and is constantly showing it off to folks who have no clue about insulators. Many nice photos of unusual models/styles. If anyone you know collects insulators, this would make a great gift.
An Excellent Book March 3, 2008
This book is perfect for the insulator collector. The guide contains many
high quality photos in color. The only listings missing are the CD number
designations that accompanies each photo. otherwise the description with each photo are complete, including price guide. Well-known collectors in the hobby have contributed their unique pieces to make this an informative
guide for both the beginner and advanced collector.
