 Not exactly an encylopedia of soda pop, 2003-01-08
I applaud the author for attempting to catalog the arcane world of old soda pop advertising, a difficult task when you're overshadowed by the 500-lb gorilla of Coca-Cola advertising. However, this book does not do enough to fill in the gaps of soda pop history. There is no attempt made to identify the years or bottlers of the soda pop brands illustrated. The collectibles pictured are organized by type of object rather than type of soda pop or region. A simple index of known soda pop manufacturers, their locations and years in business would have added so much more to this book. And why not a timeline to give the types of collectibles a little context in the history of bottling? Just a few extra pages would have added a lot of value to a thick book which is taking up more of my shelf space than its worth!

A MUST HAVE FOR SODA COLLECTORS, 2001-01-05
A SUPER BOOK FOR THE NON-COCA COLA INDIVIDUAL. AS AN ADVID MOXIE DRINKER AND COLLECTOR I'M ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MOXIE ITEMS. THERE WERE MANY ITEMS IN PETRETTIS BOOK THAT I HAD NO IDEA EVEN EXISTED. IT REALLY ADDED TO MY EDUCATION OF VALUE, SCARCITY AND CONDITION REQUIREMENTS. MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF SODA ARE WELL DOCUMENTED--PEPSI,HIRES,DR. PEPPER,KIST,ETC. ETC.

Truly The Encyclopedia of Soda Pop Collectibles., 1999-11-01
An outstanding guide to all forms of soda pop collectibles - every type imaginable. Covers signs, smalls, paper items, bottles, thermometers, fans, tin, clocks, radios, trays and coasters, mini-bottles, toys, mirrors, lighters, labels, music, and on and on. Superior black and white and full color photography. The collector won't be able to put this book down. Add it to your library. You'll refer to it often.
