Silverware of the 20th Century: The Top 250 Patterns
This book, the third in a series that included books on dinnerware and stemware, got the biggest reaction -- looking over the pattern photographs, we all found patterns we remembered.  Either our mothers or our grandmothers, an aunt or a cousin, had used this pattern or that one -- I found my mother's pattern in the book!  I'll bet the pattern photos will generate similar reactions for readers.  I guess we spend more time looking at our knives and forks and spoons than we realize.-- Randy Ladenheim-Gil, Editor, House of Collectibles
