Any collector who has wished he could carry the Guide to the Makers of
American Wooden Planes in his pocket at flea markets, auctions, or
estate sales will be happy with this new Field Guide. Tom Elliott has
included all the imprints (about 4500) from the fourth edition and has
added over 550 new imprints. He has also provided all the star ratings
shown before, as well as notations of the names on the planes, whether
the name was for a maker or a hardware dealer, and the geographical
locations and approximate dates for each entry.
