Complete set Pamela Coates' The Real McCoy (item #216) Condition: Excellent: only one of the pamphlets has a tear at the spine; the rest are in near perfect condition.

Also included is a tiny pamphlet produced by the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company, explaining how to care for their kitchen products. This is just a sweet bit of history, but the Coates books are a must-have for the serious collector. The were produced in 1971, long before there were any other books available.
