I have been intrigued with carnival chalkware for a few years now. I decided to purchase a book that would have pictures of chalkware and a price guide to assist me in establishing the worth of certain pieces. I found this book to be laid out very nicely, user friendly, and detailed color and black and white photos. Although the price guide is from 1995, it still allows the amateur collector to establish which pieces are more collectable than others. It was also enjoyable to look at the ads from the mid 1900s that are included in this book. The ads had a little description of the chalkware item and the price for the item at that time. For those interested, it also has pictures and prices of other carnival prizes and games. I found this to be a very nice book and was pleased with my purchase.
