With its initial publication in 1983, A Guide to the Makers of American Wooden Planes profoundly transformed the emphasis and direction of tool collecting. Since then, it has been the definitive guide to American planemakers. This fourth edition of an extraordinarily influential reference book, completely revised by Tom Elliott, reflects the tremendous amount of information on planemakers that has come to light since the third edition. Included are: • over 4000 biographical entries • over 5000 imprints • almost 2700 wedge outlines • almost 3000 individual ratings for judging relative scarcity and value. This represents twice as much information as the third edition and over four times more information than the 1983 edition! Also included are a section providing insights helpful in buying and selling planes, an illustrated glossary of plane terms and styles, and an extensive bibliography for further help in research. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this is the one reference absolutely essential for any tool collector or dealer.
