I got this book off Ebay. Total cost was 32.00. I was very disappointed with this book. I can't believe how many bottles are listed in this book without photos. Example on page 31 there are 15 listings for Big Chief Bottle. Not one photo. Why would anyone write a book and have listings without photo's ? I see the book is from '95. Are there any updated versions of the book ? I have quite a few
ACL Bottles not listed in this version. I have no clue what the price was on the book when it came out , but it's not worth what i paid.
I doubt there is a book that has every ACL bottle ever produced.

32 bucks, that's not to bad. I have seen this book go for over a hundred.

What you need is the 3rd edition as you have the first.

The fourth edition.....I paid my money for it a few years ago and still waiting. I belive that was about the time I re upped my "Soda Fizz" subscription......waiting on that one too.

Books are like record albums......ya can't get all the good stuff in one shot.

The author is Rick Sweeney. I also have an acl book by Thomas Marsh that isn't much better than this one
