Bells - Collecting

You will encounter a shortage of good books on bells in your public library, but the encyclopedia will get you off to a good start. Hobby magazines, particularly the one that simply calls itself Hobbies (an indispensable monthly standby, published by the Lightner Publishing Corporation, Chicago, and costing $3.50 for a one-year subscription) will offer the bell-collector about as much information as any other source. The advertisements in the hobby magazines will lead you to reliable sources for any kind of bells you decide to collect. Here again, your choice must depend upon your preference, your pocketbook, and the space at your disposal. Tea and dinner bells look elegant on the shelves of a glass cabinet; goat bells and cow bells can be very effective wall decorations; but where are you going to keep sixty-five slave bells?
