Petretti's Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide by Allan Petritti (1997, Hardcover)

This is the PERFECT book / guide to use whenever you need to research collectible Coca Cola items. In less than a week by using this book, I've saved hundreds of dollars by studying first before I purchase and I take the book with me. The Guide will even assist with "suggestive prices" that you could pay for certain items (very valuable). Wish that I had gotten sooner, it could have saved me thousands!! Beautiful pictures and an interesting read for anyone interested in the life history of Coca Cola. "Designer by a collector, for collectors" is exactly correct.

Hi
I have now been a soda collector for about 14 years.
I guess I have collected a couple of thousand soda memorabilia items.
And now I own at least 22 books on Pepsi, Coke, Soda, Soda Pop, and Bottles.

This book has about 640 pages. Almost ALL of this book is PICTURES. Some of the pages show Color Pictures. But for the most part, the pictures are black and white. I for 1 like to see the pictures in color, they show much more detail. Black and white pictures, on the other hand, some times are too dark or too light.
All of the pictures give the date, dimensions, year made, and a value price.
Information included; Introduction, Condition guide, Photo Id guide, History of Coca-Cola, Tips, Important years in Coke, Sources, Glossary and index.
I must add that the Table of Contents is very hap-hazard, with no rhyme or reason. Which I find annoying. If you want to look for a specific item or category you Have to go to the Index to find it.
I consider this book to be decent reference. I just wish that more of my Preferences were there.

VERY GOOD ; il manque la version française ... Beaucoup de photographies en noir et blanc . Trés précis sur les premiéres années coca-cola .
