RE: ACL SODA BOTTLE BOOKS AVAILABLE - 1/29/2012 12:52:46 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline celery ~ Good question. Rick Sweeney retains the copyright on the book. I "purchased" the books directly from him. He has granted me permission to sell the books. The Painted Soda Bottle Collectors Association (PSBCA) is no longer in existence, and Rick has not been involved with or heard from them in several years. Any and all proceeds/profit (which will be minimal) will be mine to regain my initial investment. I will be donating the value of one book ($45.00) to Antique-Bottles.net. Thanks. SPB   (in reply to celerycola) Post #: 3

RE: ACL SODA BOTTLE BOOKS AVAILABLE - 1/29/2012 4:03:00 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline rat ~ Thanks for your question. If I recall correctly, in 2002 when the Third Edition was first published, they sold for $45.00 online. And I do not believe that price included shipping. I have heard rumors of used copies selling on eBay for as much as $75.00.  SPB  (in reply to ratbastard) Post #: 5

"Thank You" to the individuals who placed them. And please be sure to check out the "For Sale" thread from time to time. That's where most of the questions and answers and various other updates will be posted.

RE: ACL SODA BOTTLE BOOKS AVAILABLE - 1/31/2012 2:43:31 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline Note of interest ... Something I didn't really think about or anticipate is non A-B.net members contacting me by way of various Google searches. I already received one order by this method and hopefully will get some more. Which means I might sell out faster than expected. (And at present I'm not sure if I will be purchasing any more for re-sale when the ones I have are gone). So for those who might be interested in purchasing a copy, I recommend you do it soon. And please remember this is not about me making a bunch of money, because I'm not. Its about getting copies of the books to individuals who have been wanting one but up until now have been unable to. Thanks a lot. Bob   (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 7

I also encourage other members (who can afford it) to make similar donations from time to time and help keep Antique-Bottles.net ...                                             "The Best Bottle Website On The Internet"  Sodapopbob (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 10

RE: ACL SODA BOTTLE BOOKS AVAILABLE - 2/11/2012 1:38:05 PM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline splante ~ Your Welcome. And please keep up the good work. You are a true credit to the hobby.                                                                      ~ * ~ As an after thought ... Something I should have thought of before, but didn't until just now, is to offer one of the books in "Trade" for an equal value acl soda bottle. So if anyone is interested in doing this, my trade preferences are as follows ... 1.  $45.00 value. 2.  ACL only. 3.  Near mint condition. 4.  Non-common. 5.  A nice San Diego acl would be nice ... (If I don't already have it). 6.  Big Chief ... (If I don't already have it). 7.  Coca Cola hobbleskirt ... Prefer Root Patent 1915 - (1918 thru 1929). 8.  Cowboy and/or Indian related. 9.  Whatever else you can suggest that you think I might like. Just contact me through a PM and we'll go from there. Thanks a lot. Bob Here's some of the Big Chief's I already have ...  Attachment (1) (in reply to splante) Post #: 12

RE: ACL SODA BOTTLE BOOKS AVAILABLE - 2/14/2012 11:34:02 AM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline I am holding onto one copy of Rick Sweeney's book in case someone decides to make a trade for an acl bottle I mentioned. Otherwise I am ...                                                               "SOLD OUT!" In the event I get more request for the books, what I have decided to do is start a "Want List." Once the list reaches ten (10) copies or more I will then purchase that number of books from Rick and distribute them accordingly. I want to take this opportunity to thank the individuals who purchased books with the expressed hope that you will enjoy them for years to come and that they serve as a valuable resource for continued collecting interest. For those who wish to be put on the Want List, please send me a PM. Please note that it may take weeks or even months before the list reaches ten, and that I will only purchase and ship the books when the list is completed. The Want List books do not need to be paid for until just prior to shipping. Thanks again to everyone who participated in and took an interest in this little project of mine.

RE: ACL SODA BOTTLE BOOKS AVAILABLE - 3/28/2012 10:37:56 AM    SODAPOPBOB   Posts: 3678 Joined: 3/10/2010 Status: offline splante ~ I haven't posted lately mainly because I had some computer problems and had to purchase a new one. In the process I temporarily lost about 5,000 pictures and a lot of other stuff, but fortunately was able to retrieve it recently from my old hard drive. All in all it took me some time to get back on track again. I also wanted to let you and everyone else know that my list for more books is at six now and that I only need four more request until I can start shipping again. Hopefully it won't take too long as I know those who are waiting are eager to get their books. Take care. Bob (in reply to splante) Post #: 16

So if anyone else wants one this would be the time to let me know as I will likey not be able to offer this again anytime soon. If interested, just send me a PM and we will go from there. But please let me know by this coming Tuesday April 10th at the latest. Those of you who are already on the list will be getting an email from me later today. Thanks a lot.

It's worth the money because you get to see some beautiful bottles pictured all in one place!! I'm jealous because I didn't save the bottles I had from my early collecting days when I lost interest in bottles and decided to collect more Coca-Cola stuff that wasn't bottle related. I will definately start looking for ACLs now but they won't be cheap like when I started collecting 35 years ago!! :) (in reply to SODAPOPBOB) Post #: 18
