3 comments about Collector's Digest to Beer Cans.

1. This edition was an appreciated update to the previous edition. This is the 3rd edition that I have purchased. This edition includes 1995 updated prices to the previous version of the book which listed beer cans produced through 1975. It also includes a section with pictures and prices of 236 interesting pull tab cans produced from 1975 to at least 1982. This book is a good pictorial display and reference price guide of some 8300 beer cans including 7276 12 oz flat top & pull tab cans, 514 16 oz cans, 413 12 oz cone tops, and 72 7,8,&10 cans. This book also has price listings without pictures for an additional 400 or so 12 oz cone tops, 145 quart cones, 3 16 oz cones, 27 gallons, & one 1/2 gallon. This is an excellent reference book. I highly recommend it. I would like to see a future edition with more of the 12 oz cones pictured. I eagerly await the next edition.



2. This book would have benefitted hugely from a bit of competent editing by someone possessed of a nodding familiarity with English grammar and usage, and perhaps an eye for layout; the text meant to accompany the photographs may be related to them only with difficulty. Overall, the Collector's Digest to Beer Cans exudes the cobbled-together aura of earnest, well-meaning, but ultimately amateurish production. The photographs themselves are nicely executed, though perhaps smaller than utility would dictate. The array of cans represented pictorally and, in a later section, textually, is fairly extensive, though not comprehensive by any means. Certainly, this is a very useful book for the price; one finds, though, that it merely whets the appetite for more thoroughgoing references.



3. This 157 page, softbound 5 x 8" book is handy to keep with you as you look for beer cans to add to your collection. There are nearly 6,000 full color pictures in this book and thousands more listed ! It covers the period 1932 to 1975. A glossary of terms is provided, and information about can condition. It includes half gallon cans, cone tops, and new finds. Every beer can collector will find this a great reference to keep handy. Values are 1995.

1. Andy 'the Decanter Man' has really done us proud in this epic production that has answers to most questions about the decanter. It is an excellent read not only for the expert and professional antique collector, but a great book for everyone's coffee table. This tome is well researched, illustrated and written. I look forward to future publications by this author.

1. The book was fun to look at, seeing the old pictures of coke memrabilia was great. Unfortunatley it was limited in it's content. It seems more like a collectors book, than an identifier.
