Near the turn of the twentieth century, the mass production of affordable lighting forever changed how we work, play, and live. This tectonic shift is directly related to the availability of cheap petroleum-based oil and the refinement of the kerosene lamp. Author Catherine Thuro devoted years of research to compiling a record of these formerly ubiquitous lighting devices. Oil Lamps is her first masterpiece: a comprehensive, invaluable resource. With over 1,000 lamps shown in detailed studio photographs, clearly reproduced illustrations from catalogues and trade journals, this book is the definitive visual compilation of kerosene lamps and accessories. The clear photography is also matched by detailed and engaging explanations about the origins of lamp styles. Thuro places the kerosene lamp in cultural and historical context, discussing the revolutionary large-scale production of these luminaries, the wide array of raw material used, and the far-reaching consequences of a society literally brought into the light on a massive scale. For both historical and comparative information, this is a must-have reference for collectors.

An updated edition of the ultimate hardware shopping guide and reference book: “Organized, accessible and cheerfully reassuring.” —Publishers Weekly Tired of making multiple trips to the hardware store because you purchased the wrong item? Or wandering the aisles feeling overwhelmed and bewildered? This is the illustrated reference that helps you learn the difference between drywall screws and deck screws; between faucet washers and neoprene O-rings; and between red wire nuts and blue wire nuts. And that’s before we even get to understanding nail gauges and drill bit sizes. The next time you talk to a hardware store clerk, rather than asking for “screws about two inches long,” you’ll be able to ask for #3 gauge 2-1/4-inch-long panhead screws with SAE 5/16’ flat washers! The All New Illustrated Guide to Everything Sold in Hardware Stores is filled with color photos that let you see in life-size scale what different screws and nails and washers and bolts are called, accompanied by brief descriptions of their recommended uses—so you’ll be able to ask for them with accuracy and use them with precision. “Recommended for beginners: new homeowners and handypersons just getting started.” —Library Journal
