1. I have a Cookie jar which isnt listed in the book.
   Any way I can find out more about it?



2. As of July 2007 cookie jar values have plummeted on Ebay. I would estimate people are willing to pay 50 % or less than in 1999 or 2000. The cookie jar collecting bubble burst. Examples-- A Hull Barefoot Boy did go for 200 easily. One recently started at 79 dollars and received no bids. A Shawnee Smily or Winnie dressed up in Shamrock or Chysanthemums (sic) etc was about 200-225 in 2000. I got each for about 100 DOLLARS this summer.
   If you like cookie jars-- the time to buy is now. For folks that bought jars in the late 90s, your collection is worth 50-60% less.
   Point-- this book's values are way out of date and using them will result in your paying way too much. Better to go on Ebay and watch for awhile or look at what jars you want went for recently via Searching History.
   The pics are great-- but as i said in late 1999, the coverage is not comprehensive of all makers-- focusing mainly on McCoy and American Bisque



3. This book helps price cookie jars before you buy, plus it gives you ideas on what you would like in your collection. Well worth the price of the book.



4. Now in its fourth edition, The Complete Cookie Jar Book by Mike Schneider is a 312-page catalogue and price guide of collectible and antique cookie jars. Filled from cover-to-cover with full color photographs illustrating each of the more than 2000 cookie jars featured, The Complete Cookie Jar Book is a superbly organized, expertly informative, and inherently fascinating resource for collectors and curiosity seekers with an interest in this traditional piece of kitchenware.



5. Mike Schneider has provided an invaluable service to cookie jar collectors everywhere. Mike was the first author to include the dimensions of the cookie jars and to shoot the cookie jars from the top of the finial. With all of the reproductions out there today, it is hard for beginning collectors to know which cookie jars are original and which ones are reproduction.

   Mike's innovative approach to photographing the cookie jars from the top of the finial gives collectors a whole new perspective on what the cookie jars look like and I think this is important.

   Other authors of collectibles books owe Mike a debt of gratitude. His detailed descriptions of cookie jars, including their dimensions, make his cookie jar book the standard by which all collectibles books should be written. I find that many authors miss the small details when it comes to writing about their collectible of choice. Information pertaining to the year of production and the dimensions, along with the color variations it was produced in, are the key to educating collectors. Mike Schneider delivers all this and more in his book.

   This is one book that no serious cookie jar collector should be without.

1. Truly amazing work that reflects just some of what Hurricane Katrina means.
   This is what real artists do. I was fortunate to see the complete installation, but the book is wonderful in itself.

1. At first I thought this book would be a glossy version of stereotypical Black erotica. Instead I found an unabashed celebration of the beauty of the Black male body in various dimensions, positions, moods, and ambiances. The book is worth the buy.

2. The photography is of a high level from a technical point of view. True, there is a lot of versatility, but that is not the same as creativty. I expected the book to represent the Black male figure in new ways: I was left with old, stereotypical view-points. To be truly versatile, a photographer needs the intelligent eye of an artist like Rotimi Fani-Kayode: an ability to present an erotic image that plays seriously with received cultural images, so as the result is connected to the roots of Eros: curiousity, playfulness and passion. Truly versatile, yes, but this book did not offer many versatile truths.



3. Let your imagination wander with this book and you can fully undertand the title...a real visual delight.
