Brimming with classic restaurant menus from the 1920s to the 1960s, this book features 250 color reproductions that will stimulate the interest of collectors, graphic designers, and history buffs. Heimann, author of Carhops and Curb Service, take the reader on a colorful journey through four decades of American gastronomic tastes, using restaurant menus to document the changes in American popular culture.

Prices for vintage menus range from $5 to $15, but ordinary ones cost as little as a dollar. Rarities, however, command as much as $250. And don't forget to display a group of menus with swizzle sticks, ashtrays, matchbooks, business cards, napkins, place mats and other restaurant memorabilia. Anyone with an appetite for collecting menus will enjoy May I Take Your Order: American Menu Design, 1920-1960 by Jim Heimann.
