Book Description
With more than 2,000 cookie jars illustrated in full color, this is the most complete book on the subject ever published. That helps explain the popularity of this encyclopedia, now in its fifth edition. It also contains extensive research, written by America's foremost authority, making it the definitive reference. The book is organized by both subject and by artists and companies, including the popular McCoy, American Bisque, Hull, and many others. Additionally, there is information on distributors, importers, and retailers, along with guidelines to condition, counterfeits, and production techniques. Additionally, an extensive index and current market values make this edition a must-have for collectors and dealers.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Complete Cookie Jar Book (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
Mike Schneider has provided an invaluable service to cookie jar collectors everywhere. Mike was the first author to include the dimensions of the cookie jars and to shoot the cookie jars from the top of the finial. With all of the reproductions out there today, it is hard for beginning collectors to know which cookie jars are original and which ones are reproduction. Mike's innovative approach to photographing the cookie jars from the top of the finial gives collectors a whole new perspective on what the cookie jars look like and I think this is important. Other authors of collectibles books owe Mike a debt of gratitude. His detailed descriptions of cookie jars, including their dimensions, make his cookie jar book the standard by which all collectibles books should be written. I find that many authors miss the small details when it comes to writing about their collectible of choice. Information pertaining to the year of production and the dimensions, along with the color variations it was produced in, are the key to educating collectors. Mike Schneider delivers all this and more in his book. This is one book that no serious cookie jar collector should be without.
