Well, I had to figure it ou but I did it. I got you the extra fiver for your carpel tunnel syndrome, paypal fees, habitat or maybe a cheap bottle. It's yours now. I had to run a manual payment but it worked. I also get to keep my paypal balance and get 1% cash back. Not the 1½% it used to be but oh well.

I constantly update the database for the price guide. I hope to hear more from customers on what they would like different in it. Some people had said they would like it to list the last date that each bottle was sold. That's not hard since I have that info. I also have been trying to keep track of the target illness for each medicine (ie. lungs,worms, baldness, etc). I may add that info.
I'd like to know what people think about the comb binding. I went with it this time but I'm not that crazy about it. I am thinking about a more solid binding next time.
A couple people have said they want more thorough coverage of bottles that have a lot of variations like Townsends and Wolfes. I put a good selection in but didnt try to cover all the varations I have seen.

Hey Matt, I like the comb binding, it makes for easy handling of the book in the field. Yes I carry reference books with me when I dig and if more came with comb bindings it would sure make them easer to handle.

Any additional info you add would be great. Maybe a little space in each row for personal notes.

Just my thoughts. I love mine.[:)]

I would LOVE if the next one had "last date sold". I actually care more about the age than the price--sometimes I just wanna know the price because it gives me a hint on the age, sort of. Re: The binding, anything that lets it open completely flat is great.

Evening Matt...

I'm gonna buy one just because "Capsoda" bought one!

Only kidding of course, but would you sign mine and address it to the "The Best Bottle Diver I Know?"[&:] LOL...

Are you coming to the April 2nd New England Bottle Show? If you are, I would guess that you would be bringing a pile of your books with you... Right?

Good luck... can't wait to send you some money.
