Got one today at the Greensboro show. Need to know what the bottom description on page 58 says. Half of that was cut off during printing of my book anyway.

This is my first Porters guide and its pretty good. My only beef is it does not go into detail more with the straight sides. It just lists the cities that had SS Cokes. Well I have 4 or 5 different SS Cokes from one city and some are rarer than others. So you can't really lump them all together and give that city a rarity grade.

I also realize that would be time consuming and nearly impossible. [] Guess I'm just used to the Ayers Pepsi guides.

What is he asking for his latest edition?

$12.95 is the cover price but for whatever reason they were charging $20 at the show.

Bill's books are basic in design. They are reprints (with modifications added) to his first book which was copyrighted in 1996. Some of his notes are hand written and are printed that way. So the $12.95 on the cover is the same on all editions. See the picture below which is of his 8/13/08 printing. I paid about $17.95 for it. His new book (2011) is $22.95 (including shipping) ... but I am rounding it off to $25.00 which includes a little "tip." []
