Collectible Souvenir Spoons The Grand Tour Book II

This volume, Collectible Souvenir Spoons, Book I I, is a follow-up to my popular book, Collectible Souvenir Spoons, Identification & Values. The first book concentrated on American souvenir spoons which comprise approximately 50% of the total number of silver souvenir spoons. This volume examines spoons from every continent and different spoon tyles and trends. You may use either book in a stand-alone fashion, but you will get much more insight into spoon collecting if you use the books in an integrated manner. A few spoons may be found in both volumes, but those are exceptions and this was done to illustrate key points. For the most part, there is very little duplication and over 98% of the spoons are unique to each volume.
