Aladdin, the Magic Name in Lamps by J. W. Courter is a richly illustrated hardcover that charts the rise of the legendary Aladdin lamp company and the kerosene-to-electric shift that lit American homes. Technology & engineering buffs, antiques hunters, and interior-design lovers alike will pore over its 11"×8" pages of patent drawings, vintage ads, and model-by-model comparisons.

Collector and author Courter blends meticulous research with clear visuals to explain how Aladdin perfected non-pressure incandescent lighting and why these fixtures remain sought-after artifacts today. Whether you need a reliable reference for dating hardware or simply want atmospheric décor ideas, the book doubles as both authoritative guide and coffee-table conversation starter.

This 304-page 2010 edition arrives in very good shape: crisp, unmarked pages, tight binding, no tears or stuck sheets, only faint shelf wear to the jacket. It comes from a smoke-free home and is ready to slip onto a collector's shelf or accompany you to antique fairs and estate sales.
