Broom-Corn and Brooms: A Treatise on Raising Broom-Corn and Making Brooms, on a Small or Large Scale

"The book presents the details of the manufacture of all existing types of brooms, from the smallest and simplest to the largest and most complex. The information covers everything from the selection of different eggs for breeding to even the methods used in the collection of the finished product. Since the Corn Broom has no commercial value, it seems heretical to assume that its success is due to the skill and ingenuity of its creators. Rather, corn on a broom has great commercial value because it satisfies many entertainment needs. "

About the Book

Books on traditional crafts relate to work where useful and decorative devices are made completely by hand, or by employing simple tools. Goods made through mass production techniques or by machines are not considered handicrafts, which are made using craft production processes. Books on hobbies describe regular activities that are done for personal enjoyment, generally during one's leisure time. These include collecting themed items and objects, undertaking creative and artistic pursuits, playing sports, or engaging in other amusements. The nature of hobbies that are pursued tends to follow trends in society. For example, stamp collecting was popular during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries because postal systems were the main medium of communication.
