Hardcover. Gray cloth boards with tipped in photograph on front cover and gold gilt lettering on cover and spine, 190 pp., bw illustrations. "As anyone who has tried can attest, gathering a collection of New Jersey marked tools can be a slow process. Years of looking and a great deal of luck are required. Ever since 1975, when asked to write an article on them, the author has searched for New Jersey tools and information about their makers. During more than seven years of studying early business directories, newspapers, and histories, he has compiled a list of more than 300 of these toolmakers. Included in this book is information derived from such historical sources as well as from living descendants about the lives of New Jersey's early toolmakers. Among the numerous tools pictured are many of historic significance." - quoted from Introduction. VG- (minimal shelf wear at edges, sticker residue on inside cover, all pages clear and intact).
