starting out

[sunflower1702]

My children and I just starting collecting and digging. What books does everyone recommend for beginners? I feel bad always posting questions.

Hey, Kelly...

No worries... That's what we're all here for...

I don't know of any recent books that would give an intro overview, but there are many older out-of-print books that you can look for in used book shops, at bottle shows and on amazon.com...

My favorite would be Cecil Munsey's "The Illustrated Guide to Collecting Bottles", 1970...

All I can reccomend is go to flea markets, go to the library and research old places, homes. Get a price guide, and read this site.
