"Old Stoves Are Hot" (130 pages) is an informative and fascinating history of antique cooking stoves from about 1900 to 1955. In addition to presenting a well researched and fascinating survey of the history of American cooking stoves, the book is full of vintage advertising images along with images from stove company brochures.. Topics include wood burning stoves, gasoline vapor stoves, kerosene stoves, classic gas ranges from the 1950s and much more. The book includes a resource guide for repairs and restoration. The pictures and their captions are a delight to "thumb thru" and the text, while very informative, is enjoyable to read. Excerpts from a review: " ...great book to just have lying around. It's equally suited as a coffee table book as it is an interesting read. On top of the great writing is a wealth of really interesting imagery. There are hundreds of photos and old ads in this book. If you have any sort of fondness for functional, old things, you'll love this book."
