"Cute and Interesting book" according to Batfan7. This is a great book for describing common pioneering items that have since become obsolete. Many of the things described I had no idea what they were and would not have guessed just by looking at them. This would be a great book to read along with any of the 'Little House' books or just before visiting any American History museums.. "eh" according to Asllady. Looks locally published. Not the best binding, but interesting content. It's also not very thick. I would equate it to a very interesting online article.
