Not worth buying.
I wish I had read previous reviews before I purchased this item. Some nice photo copies from old catalogs but no information concerning manufacture, history, condition, etc. The "Price Guide" consisted of one page with a broad disclaimer and some pricing I could have guessed at my self. Not worth the money.

Pass on this book
If you are at all interested in learning about trunks, this is not your book. I ordered it as a companion guide to Morse & Edelstein's "Antique Trunks" and was extremely disappointed. The book only contained drawings of trunks (no photos), many of which looked like they had been badly copied and were so dark that it was nearly impossible to see any details. Perhaps even more annoying was that it appeared that the author focused only on one particular trunk manufacturer. After reviewing it for about 15 minutes, I just gave it away (that's how annoyed I was).
