Author Lillian Baker is founder of the first club for collectors of hatpins and hatpin holders and author of an encyclopedia on the subject for which this handbook serves as an addendum and supplement.

The hat-pin industry expanded rapidly, producing pins of many materials, styles and qualities. Hat pins were necessary for everyday wear as well as for sports and motoring.

The books that we choose to keep -- let alone read -- can say a lot about who we are and how we see ourselves.

Between 1887 and 1920, the humble hatpin went from an unremarkable item in every woman's wardrobe, to a fashion necessity, to a dangerous weapon (it was said).

Captain's log: We have entered a galaxy where beloved illustrator Jenny Parks has conjured an astonishingly vivid homage to the original Star Trek series with an unexpected twist: a cast of cats.

This updated and expanded edition of the classic hatpin reference is enhanced with hundreds of new color photographs depicting a wide array of collectors' treasures.

Jenny Pfanenstiel presents beautifully rendered, full-color tutorials that explain the basics of hat-making, from material selection to stitching and finishing.

Through this book, Gene Allen Martin extends an invitation to readers not just to learn a skill, but to engage with the narrative of cultural legacy.
