In the 1990s Brian S. Alexander set out to redecorate his home in a style that closely mimics the 1950s, exposing himself to all types of kitchen gadgets and household items of the period. His interests as a collector took him to numerous antique malls, shops, flea markets, shows, and on more than a few Internet excursions. As Brian's collections grew, he thought someday he might write a book on the subject, and in 2001 he signed up with a motivational program focusing on long put off ?someday projects? Through the Chicago Tribune. He presently works as an architect in Gurnee, Illinois and has homes in Evanston, Illinois and Michigan City, Indiana.

Reader Reviews
Excuse the enthusiasm, but Spiffy Kitchen Collectibles is an amazing book. It's accurate, informative and beautiful. And on top of that, it's a hoot. Filled with more than 1,000 full-color pictures of kitchen gadgets of all kinds, the book is part identification guide, part price guide and part stroll down memory lane. Covering Post World War II kitchen ware, the book includes hundreds of period Magazine advertisements, helping to put the collectibles in context. Visually, it's brilliant. Some of the pictures are small but that's only because there are so many included. You don't have to be a collector to enjoy this book. But if you are, you'll find the book handier than an Ecko egg beater. Buy it. Read it. Enjoy.
