pay what your comfortable with, all price guides are just guides.the book is about 10 years old some rare bottles may have turned scarce or common and visa versa. It is a great tool to get some ideas on what may be rare and alos you can see what themes are popular and to have pictures of so many acl is a big plus.

I only allow returns if the item isn't as described, I've never had anyone return anything.

Just found a copy of that book myself over on Amazon for 53.00 postpaid, hoep to get it soon.

Not sure about values, but it's a great reference book - history, photos for a new wish-list :), and does give relative rarity if not up to date pricing, so I know what's uncommon if I stumble on it, of course if I stummble one one I don;t know, will grab anyways, lol.

I'm both happy to see ACLs climbing in price, because it means both that there is interest, possibly new collectors ( only been at this 3-4 years mysefl ), and that my ( our ) investments are good.
Sad though the pricews climbing meaning I won't be able to buy alot of great stuff anymore.

I've have that and thought about returning it 'cause the pages squeaked when I flipped them.[:D][:D] I've learned to live with it though, thanks Bob.
It's a great guide and it's quieting down with use. [:)]

You're welcome ... that's what they call "squeaky clean."

The acl book I was offering has been sold for $60.00

I can get more but would need at least seven request (wait list) in advance because I can only get them in lots of ten at a time. The price would be $60.00 per book which includes free shipping anywhere in the continental United States. Please send me a PM if you would like to be put on the waiting list.

Thanks again to the buyer and those who bid on the book.

Bob
