Get the book when you can!...if all u collect is dew, it will become handy... there are tons of dew bottles & ones u wouldn't think are worth money can be.... some no name bottles can be just as rare... the bad part is that more people are starting to collect dew bottles, which can be good cause it will keep the value there... you just have to dig around...flea markets, garage sales, bottle shows, ebay ect..... i think i have around 35 hillbilly bottles & about 25 common 70's and 80's dew bottles.. i don't have the $$ either to buy alot of bottles...just set cash aside each month and pick up a new bottle from somewhere once every 2-3 months..unless it is a super deal & will splurge when i shouldn't!... its all in fun!

Well i do collect inks and med's also mostly smalls and Mt.Dew in the Soda area, love just going out and loooking for whatever catchs my eye in the flea markets and antique stores and of course a wee bit of digging when i can. Which except for the Afri-Kola, i have gotten all my soda's from digging or maybe it's scavanging LMAO
Books When i can as i can,tis a neat trick to look at the pages i can for them on amazon,till i can.

It only took a week or two and I have become addicted to bottles. Mostly Pepsi & Dew. My girlfriend has over 200 different Coke bottles. Only a few real old ones though. I also am a low budget collector right now. Just picked up 5 other bottles for 18$. Will post pics soon. Must get that Dew book.
Peace
