| Publisher Description: Despite the critical and popular success of the author's first volume, Country Store Collectibles, it was clear there were many more country store antiques than could be covered in one book. In this completely new volume are hundreds of items, gathered from some of the best collections in the country, and presented in beautiful full color. Also included are period photos of actual country and general stores that have never been published before. Concise captions and an accurate price guide make the book invaluable to collectors. The images themselves will awaken memories in those who spent their younger years in such places, and give a new appreciation to those who did not have the opportunity. This wonderful new book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of collectors and historians alike. |
