The book has been printed and is now in DISTRIBUTION. I think that it is a marvelous book, but as the author, I am probably biased. For unbiased views, see the comments near the end of this page.
You have three ways to obtain the newest Souvenir Spoon book.
by Wayne Bednersh
published by Collector Books
a division of Shroeder Publishing Co. Inc
ISBN# 1-57432-063-7
The book is about 334 pages long and contains more than 800 plates (many of which are multiple spoons), some of them in full color. This is more pictures of American Souvenir Spoons than found in all previous spoon books combined.
1. You can order the book from me-- contact me by EMAIL
I am sorry but I can no longer offer the book directly. The US Postal System, in its infinite wisdom, has established new rules to prevent someone from sending "letter bombs". These rules are SO ONEROUS that it is not worth the effort to comply with them. Therefore if you want to buy the book contact the sources below.
2. You can order the book through any of the on-line books services.
www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com or any of the other web services which you prefer. Some of these will even give you a discount of a few dollars. They are also equipped to handle credit cards and all of that good stuff which I cannot provide. The easiest way to find it is to do a search under the author name "bednersh"
3. You can go into any of your local bookstore chains and they will order it for you at no additional charge. Smaller bookstores can also obtain the book from their distributors. This will also save you the cost of shipping. This method will allow you to "preview" the book before actually purchasing it. (But I am quite positive that you will be very happy with your purchase).
Whichever way you prefer to go--don't forget to obtain your own copy. If you are really nice, you might also consider donating a copy to your local library, giving it as a present to a spoon collecting friend, or to your club.
It has kept us captivated all evening. We
have seen a number of spoon books in the library, but your book is more
of what we have been looking for. G.F., Salt Lake City
RE: WOW
the subject heading says it all, it is the most used word around here at the
moment...from both of us. We are enjoying the book immensely. A.L., New Zeeland
Wayne,
The whole book is exciting. And, what a wonderful reference for collectors !
(and, me too.) This is most certainly the best souvenir book in print. The
time that you must have spent in preparing is hard for me to imagine. S.A.M, Calif.
"Received your book today. The layout & pictures are superior. How nice to see your picture & bio. Again, the quality of your photos are unmatched anywhere. I especially am happy to see plate #654,657,658. I collect Kewpie dolls & have never found a spoon--of course, I could not afford to pay those prices. This collectible book is more than I ever expected, $20 is a bargain. You can be proud of a job well done. Your efforts & hard work will be enjoyed by many for years." S.V., St. Petersburg, Fl.
