This is a great history book on the Hoosier cabinet. I just wish it actually had a more comprehensive listing of the possible Hoosier style cabinet of the period. My Hoosier style cabinet is basically Sellers clearfront as far as I am able to discern from one of the ads posted in the book, but mine has components from the Boone and Hoosier brands as well. I'm still confused if indeed it is a Sellers or a hybrid compilation of salvaged pieces. The cabinet hardware closures are unlike any listed in this book which makes finding replacements frustrating. I personally like the hardware, but they appear to be like the Hoosier brand but modified to act as pull releases for the hidden latches. I still would recommend this book for the fascinating history of this kitchen cabinet. Through it, we learn the progression to the modern day kitchen from absolutely nothing at all. It is truly amazing how innovations such as this cabinet lead to the functional kitchens of today. And do check out the antique ads! You can literally see how much of the advertising methods of the day still impact our advertisements today. Truly an awesome compilation.

I ordered this book in hopes of acquiring more information on Seller's Hoosier cabinets. While this book is informative I just couldn't get into Ms. Hiller's style of writing. I finally just looked up the pages that referred to the Seller's cabinet and read those and looked at the photos. It does offer lots of insight into the lives of families at the time of the Hoosier heyday, it was not what I was looking for as far as brand information. It is a nicely presented hardback book but with few color photos.

Very informative thank you
