When I bought the book from Mr. Rhoades, I was not prepared for the impressive volume I received in the mail. Anyone who has an interest in history or is simply looking for a pleasant way to pass an hour or two will be well rewarded for time spent. The book has made a nice addition to our library. |

As a library director I'm not much for buying books from authors over the phone. I made the exception for Mr. Rhoades when he told me about his fascinating discovery that led to this wonderful book. Each page is full of beautiful photographs and history. Who would have thought such an entertaining book could come from a bunch of old tin cans! Thanks Doug, for your wonderful book! |

Sometimes common objects provide more of an insight into the true history of a time and place than academic studies can. Here's a book that supports that idea. If the thought of an expensive book about tin cans strikes you as ridiculous, you have only to open this book to any page and you will change your mind. A history of canning and canneries profusely illustrated with detailed photos of the real thing, this book is fun, informative and downright addictive. The book is also well bound and durable, like the products it pictures.
