Strijk te Kijk "Show and Tell"
by Ton van der Tonnekreek
Strijk te Kijk "Show and Tell" by Ton van der Tonnekreek. Published in 2009 by a long-time Dutch collector with a superb collection of irons and a deep knowledge of the subject. This 213 page soft bound book, in English, is the ideal pictorial introduction to every type of iron. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers the various means by which irons are heated, and the second part covers the various ways in which irons are used. Each chapter is introduced with a short essay and filled with high quality color photographs. In addition to the photographs there are many reproductions of prints and paintings, and pages from catalogues. A thorough guide for the novice or veteran collector, with clearly written and easily absorbed information.

The most beautiful book on irons there is; by authority on electric irons, Jay Raymond.
Also, pictured are 30 of the very earliest electric irons made in North America,

two essays on the subject of streamlining, and a fascinating history of the first entrepreneur
to produce an electric iron in the United States, Charles E. Carpenter.
