ACL Soda Bottle Books Available

[SODAPOPBOB]

I recently acquired 20 copies of Rick Sweeney's book ...

"Collecting Applied Color Label Soda Bottles" ~ 2002 Third Edition

And am offering them for $60.00 each - which includes shipping anywhere in the Continental U.S. They are in near mint uncirculated condition. In 2002 they were selling for $45.00

If interested, please send me a PM and I will reply with my mailing address where you can send a money order. Please, money orders only, which will need to be received prior to my sending out the book. I have done this before and perhaps some of the members I sold books to in the past will vouch for my credibility.

When I'm done with this I intend to donate 10% of the proceeds to Antique-Bottles.net.

I know some of you have been waiting for these books to become available, so please contact me as soon as possible. They are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

P.S.

As you probably noticed, the book is spiral bound so it lays flat or folds back onto itself for easy use.

Here's a picture of Rick Sweeny in front of his impressive ACL collection. The red arrows point to strips of Plexiglas that secure the bottles on the shelf but still allow the labels to be seen. The green arrows show where the Plexiglas is screwed to the shelf. Its a great way to display ACLs, especially in earthquake country like here in southern California.

I sent you a PM with my personal email address. If you're having a problem with PMs, contact the Administration for help. That's what I had to do when they switched over and they fixed it for me.
