Don Bull's series of books on corkscrews has won world-wide
acclaim, and this book offers even more about the wide range of
figural corkscrews. Find corkscrews from an aviary, an aquarium, an
armory, a museum, a tool shed, a zoo, and much more in over 900
splendid photographs in twenty chapters. Everything from airplane
to zebras is detailed with value ranges. The "museum" alone offers
the reader a fascinating visit to the world of corkscrew barrels,
jugs, bells, bottles, faucets, insects, keys, pipes, and more.
Corkscrew designs by Alessi, Colombo, Gemelli, Gladman, Pal-Bell,
Syroco, and others showcase some fascinating pieces. Special
corkscrews related to Christopher Columbus, Queen Elizabeth II, and
New York City will intrigue the specialists. The final chapter, the
Zoo, is filled with camels, elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, and
monkeys. Right Kincaid of the International Correspondence of
Corkscrew Addicts previewed the book and wrote I guarantee that
once you open the cover, you will not stop until you have looked
through the entire array of figural corkscrews.
