Hi Bob -
My ACL book came in the mail yesterday. (That's 12 days after I sent the money order.) It's a great book! Both my wife and I have been enjoying looking at it. The pictures are excellent, the database is cool, and there is a lot of interesting historical facts about a few of the soda companies.
I must admit that I am not actually a collector of ACL bottles, but I really like the book anyway. It's an excellent collection of ACL art and soda name art, and I like relating it to the deco bottles that I do collect. It's a great reference work for the hobby of bottle collecting, and you really can't get a more colorful kind of bottle collecting book!
I really appreciate your effort, Bob, in getting this now-rare book available to us!

Thanks for the review - mucho appreciated!
As you might know, there are two earlier editions of the book - the first of which was published in 1995 and second one in 1998. I don't have either one but heard the third edition, like the one you have, is a compilation of the first two and is the best of the three. Regarding rarity, the first two editions are harder to find than the third one.
Thanks again,
Bob

Here's another book to look for ...
"Soda and Mineral Water Bottles" By J.L. Jones - 1972
It includes numerous (black & white) pictures and values of Hutchinson bottles, straight-sided bottles, as well as acl bottles. As far as I know it is the earliest collectors book to devote a large portion of its pages to acl bottles. The book is extremely hard to find and can cost anywhere between $75.00 and $100.00. Notice the 1972 cover price of $8.00. I have a copy that I acquired in the late 1970s and paid about $5.00 for ...

Update ...
Because only six of the seven books I sold have been paid for, I just donated $35.00 to the forum. The only place I could find that allowed donations is on the task bar at the top of each page where it says "Site Support." Click on it and it will take you to a pop-up box where you will see three options. The one I donated to was a 1,000 year subscription for $35.00. I doubt I'll be around in 1,000 years but I'm paid up just in case I am.
