A short book review by Ralph E. Griswold of Peter H. Fowler's 'How to Be Owned by an Antique Spinning Wheel: A Practical Guide' (Unicorn Gifts and Crafts, 2003). It summarizes the book's contents: history of spinning, how wheels work, advice for collectors on spotting fakes and dating wheels, a chapter on Asian spindle wheels, identification, repair and restoration, spinning, and accessories. The second page reproduces two illustrations from the book, including a postcard-style image of a woman spinning from a distaff.
