GREENBERG BOOKS
Bruce Greenberg founded Greenberg's Publishing in the 1970s and for
several years acted in a consulting capacity after he sold the company
to Kalmbach Publishing. From its beginning Greenberg's has had the
best selection of tinplate books. Especially recommended are their
"Guide to _______ "(fill in the blank) comprehensive Product listing
in Volume I and other information in successive volumes, if available.
Good stuff. Call and ask for a catalog.
