Product Description
With their origins dating back to 18th Century British biscuit

jars, American-made cookie jars are fun, frivolous and

fabulously collectible. Cookie jars as we know them today were

only popularized in the U.S. around the time of the Great

Depression. Today, stoneware cookie jars made by Brush, Hull,

McCoy and others are highly prized by collectors.

Featuring thousands of cookie jars by all the major

manufacturers, valued and captured in full color, Warman?s

Vintage Cookie Jars is the most complete volume available for

collectors. The book includes history, current values,

information on fakes and reproductions, marks and much

more. Presenting a visual and textual history of this unique

kitchen art form, this book will prove to be as wonderful as

the treats pulled from the cookie jars themselves.

Cookie Jar Cousin November 30, 2008
I purchased this book for a family member that is nuts for cookie jars. He was really happy to have such a personal gift! The book had tons of great photos and information.

Disappointing and limited October 4, 2007

I am a collector with most of the relevant guides. As this was a new one, which I felt was long overdue, I was very excited. However, this book falls far short. First, the author obviously accessed a few collections, and focused on those without seeking out many other jars, some more widely available, to include. Second, it seems to have taken the word of the owners of those collections as to current cookie jar values. You can take a look at Ebay to know the prices in this book aren't at all realistic. Third, there is no index, so if you don't already have an idea as to what a jar is, then you are out of luck. The best thing about this book is good photos.

I'd still go with the Schneider book or the Roerig trilogy.

This is the Best Cookie Jar Reference! November 7, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I am relatively new to collecting cookie jars and felt like I have all the books I can find about the topics. Many of them were published in the 1980's or the 1990's and so the price guides are off by quite a bit. This guide is Awesome! It has wonderful clear pictures, the current price, when to look for reproductions on a certain one, as well as all sorts of other helpful details. It is alphabetically organized and well written. By far the best book I have. I highly recommend to all. You won't be disappointed.
