Books on Vintage Ties for Men

[John in Covina]

I'd like to start a thread on Tie Collecting Books as a resource for information.

I have:
Fit to Be Tied: Vintage Ties of the Forties and Early Fifties (Recollectibles) [Hardcover] By Rod Dyer and Ron Spark Pix by Steve Sakai. Buy it used on Amazon for cheap.

The pictures are neat. A good beginner book on ties lots of pictures and some info on makers, designers and styles. Intro by Actor, comedian and magician Harry Anderson (Judge Stone on TV's Night Court) a noted vintage tie buff.

Thank you for starting this thread John.
I was thinking last week that I need to find some resources for vintage ties. Now I have a good start.

Harry Anderson had some great ties, and great hats as well.

Just ordered "Fit to be Tied" from Amazon. For $4 you can't go wrong!

For that one you really can't go wrong. I think you'll like it as it has plenty of pictures. Not so much background and history though.
