I shipped out a big pile of medicine books this morning.
Do me a favor and let me know when they arrive so I can gauge how long media rate shipping really takes (not that I dont trust the USPS []) Also let me know how well those boxes survived the shipping process.
I try to learn from feedback...

I have a bunch to mail out tomorrow for people who sent checks.
Thanks for all the support. Hopefully I'll sell some at the bottle show.
Its definately a learning experience.

I'm sure you'll have plenty, but save me one anyway...I'm pulling for cash, with no job now, I am broke..
And I'll be darned if I don't get one..

I just checked the mail so I have no idea when it got here but it did.
It's an awesome book and your way under selling it, especially with the free shipping..
The pic's are fine and many aren't that necessary anyway but than again, I know what a rectangular bottle looks like.[] It all came out much better than the Wilson's and the Shimko etc. books I mentioned previously.
Some of the drawings are fantastic. I wish I had that ability!
Great book Matt. I may have to buy another but I'll wail 'til I'm reemployed.
Thanks

Mine came in yesterday Matt. Survived the trip to the West Coast in premium condition. I can't thank you enough for what you just did for the whole bottle collecting community. My hat is off to you.....Ron

Thanks for the feedback.
I ordered enough so I could get the cost down to a reasonable level.
I met my target cost. I think the printer I found in NJ did a great job and they were excellent to work with.
I highly recommend Lightning Press.

Since this is the first edition I realize there will be a lot of errors (I already know a few) and price adjustments.
Its doubtful I will do many updates like the Red Book of Fruit Jars (are they on version 10 now?)
For one thing I cant make it any bigger.
Maybe an addendum like DeGrafft's Sarsaparilla book has? In the interum I will try to post additions and changes on my website as I accumulate them.
If you think I am way off on some value let me know. I wont be offended. Local collectors usually have a lot more feel for values than someone like me comparing bottles from all over the country.
