1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good book at all, 30 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I think Mr.Hobson should stick to fixing appliances, as a writer he uses information from other people and doesn't give them credit for the work they have done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid basic reference and tutorial on the subject., 2 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This was the first book I bought on this subject, and I found it invaluable as an introduction to early lantern manufacturers and lighting technology. The author clearly explains the different fuels available at different historical periods, and the technologies that utilized them. Contains many very clear reproductions from early catalogs organized by manufacturers in an easy to read reference format. Using the entries here, it is easy to locate the manufacturer, model, relative date of manufacture, and background on most commonly-encountered lanterns. The rarity guide is somewhat lacking in timeliness and should be updated, however. Despite that, I also recommend this author's Book Two as a useful addition and supplement to this book. Advanced collectors would likely be disappointed, but novices and experienced collectors will find this book interesting and informative.
