DOORSTOPS by Jeanne Bertoia, Collector Books, KY, 1985/1989.
Chapter coverage includes a broad-based introduction with a history and classification of doorstops. Subsequent chapters, aimed directly at collectors, deal with the following topics: detecting reproductions, rating doorstops, factors affecting prices, care and preservation, history, manufacturers and designers, and catalog pages from Albany NY, 1924, advertising many doorstops. Pictured in color photos are doorstops divided according to subject: ordinary people, animals, the garden, the home, and a miscellaneous category. A quick-reference index rounds out this thorough and beautifully illustrated collector’s guide.
