This is a beautifully-illustrated book and one my husband will treasure as one of his favorites. He recently started collecting old coffee mills so I bought this one for him as a surprise gift to get him started. He immediately started looking through it and FOUND the "two" grinders he has at this point. Boy, was he excited! I think I have created a "millaholic" as a result of buying him this book. The pictures and accompanying text are extremely helpful in the identifcation of many mills. We highly recommend it for the beginning collector. There's something in it for everyone from the pricey floor grinders to mills for the modestly pocketed collector, plus it also has an accompanying array of pictures of coffee makers and coffee memorabilia. Great book -- wish they would come out with a follow-up.

If anyone knows of any other coffee mill/grinder antique books that are out there and available would you let me know. I am on another quest.

Thanks ...

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to build a business
and wants to be successful. This is formated as an easy read handbook that encourages even the lest knowledgeable of people. It teaches ways to be well rounded in all aspects of business and is a must read for anyone who wants to be successful in business and life.

This book has excellent, if sometimes difficult recipes for everything from simple loaf cake to fancy cheese cake layered with coffee cake and fruit. I have not been even remotely dissapointed with any of the 10 (out of more than 70) cakes I've made. If you like to bake and are looking for different and delicious this has to be on your shelf.

If you ever need a coffee cake for that special occasion, this is the place to look. The recipes can be made by the home baker without difficulty and use ingredients that are easy to find. There is good variety in flavor, including apple, blueberry, apricot, almond, cranberry, rhubarb and more. All are delicious, and the book makes a GREAT gift.

This book is full of incredibly funny coffee humor. If you like coffee you'll love this book. The content however may be easier for adults to understand than children. but all around I have to say the authors are two incredibally talented people because this is one fuuny book!

The Coffee shop days is the story of a teenage alcoholic and criminal named Ben, his life and struggles one the streets of San Jose, California, the book chronicles his adventures ((and misadventures)) in crime, drugs, relationships, and alcholism.
It does not get much more real than this, the author writes in a way that draws you into the story, the characters are very real and interact in a way that reminds you of people you know, or local figures of lore, such as the birdman of alcatraz.
If you liked American Beauty or The Catcher in the Rye, you will like this True american story.

If you are an addict or know someone who is - this is a great gift! I was rolling on the floor reading this - honestly! It's a small, quick-to-read, "coffee-table" book.

This book appealed to me on two levels, as I collect cookbooks and I'm a Sunday School teacher. Although it's meant for adults to share their faith with others, I found that it gave me wonderful ways to do something new and different in my Sunday School classes.

Wondering what the proper method is to brewing a cup of coffee? Or perhaps all your attempts turn out to be a strange form of liquid mud? This is the book for you. Beautifully illustrated, this book covers all the bases, and then some.

If you want to know ANYTHING about coffee, then this is the book for you. Not only does it talk about the history of coffee, but it also discusses today's coffee industry and all of the different types of coffee. The photographs and lay-out make it an excellent "coffee table" book. You will definitely enjoy it!
