In addition to a wide-ranging collection of tea caddies there is also a very nice history of tea itself as well as the development of tea caddies over the years. While I had a very rudimentary concept of the history of tea once it made its way to Europe I was ignorant of any details on the origins and development of tea prior to that. And even my understanding of it within the context of European history is largely limited to tea as a factor in economic conditions and financial matters, very little about tea as tea.
While this book filled in so many of those gaps for me it did not get bogged down in it and quickly went into the various types and styles of tea caddy. Looking at the pictures and reading about the making and use of them, I think I may have seen several over the years without ever knowing what they were.
I would highly recommend this both to people who like and collect tea caddies as well as to those like myself who enjoy having a beautifully illustrated book that also serves as a nice introduction.
