Two new features, titled 'My Hometown Bottler,' and 'My Favorite Coke Collectible,' have been added to this fourth edition. Both of these features include superb color photos with related articles. Collectors can submit information about their favorite collectible or bottle for possible future inclusion. Over 1,600 color photos and updated listings; snippets of information are interspersed througout the book, giving the collector not only values, but also facts relating to their favorite collectible. Each listing is keyed to allow the collector an insight into the origin of a value. AUTHORBIO: B.J. Summers continues to compile essential references for advertising and Coca-Cola collectors. His popular books include Pocket Guide to Coca-Cola, Summers' Guide to Coca-Cola, Soda Pop Memorabilia, Antique & Contemporary Advertising Memorabilia, and Value Guide to Gas Station Memorabilia. His books have become standard references in their fields. REVIEW: Aside from being all color and very beautiful to look at, this book allows collectors to get estimates for items they couldn't find anywhere else. Just because certain items have been produced in the past 30 years, it doesn't mean that some of them are not extremely collectible, as Summers demonstrates. Any serious Coca-Cola collector needs to add this book to their library to be able to round out their references. -John P. Williams
