A Helpful Ashtray Collecting Resource As someone who is just starting out as an ashtray collector, I found this book to be very helpful and easy to use. Lindenberger makes a lovely presentation in that she uses excellent photographs to demonstrate examples of various types of ashtrays. Written information is limited but still quite informative. The photo quality is quite good and the suggested price guide makes collecting easy and fun. I keep this book handy for quick review after my Saturday m. One flavored.
