Does anyone have vacuum books?  A lot have "Fabulous Dustpan". I have 3, I think.  I also have the whimsical Hoover coloring book. I just ordered "The Vacuum Cleaner, by Carroll Gantz.   I know some if it is not exactly correct.  Ann Haines offered corrections, but, that didn't happen. Still, it's going to be a nice addition to one's "vacuum library".

 

Are there any other books we might like to look into?

Hey John,

I have none but I went looking out of curiosity and found this similarly-themed thread: www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bi...

Suck, Don't Blow! by Jane Furnival discusses a variety different home appliances, but the first chapter of the book is a UK-centric overview of vacuum history.

I wonder how

"Suck, don't blow" would look on the bookshelf. Perhaps the other shelf. Not the same S all the " Kennedy and mRtha Stewart" books?    Lolol

I'm aware of all of the errors, but, it still will be fun to have.   And, anything Ann Haines had her hand in.... well... she was there.   "LIVED IT".

I'll have to check it out.

This morning, (sunday), my book was delivered.   Nicely done.   Sad to see the blatant mis information regarding Hoover, but....  Ann Haines (yay, ann). I'm no expert on other brands, either, so.... who knows what's really correct there as well. But, all in all, Something nice to add to the library.
