Root Beer Advertising and Collectibles

By Tom Morrison

Book Overview

Here's a big second serving for sassafras softdrink lovers. Ever since Tom Morrison's first beverage book, Root Beer Advertising and Collectibles, was published, a second edition about this popular pop was inevitable. More than 650 photographs of root beer bottles, cans, dispensers, mugs, signs and emblems, and more are depicted in this volume, which was made possible by the groupings of some of the largest root beer collections in America. Root beer tidbits, recipes, lists of clubs and newsletters, and a guide to the brand names also make this book a valuable guide for those who want to know more about these popular collectibles.

An Excellent Book

Root Beer Advertising and Collectibles is a vital book for any serious collector of root beer items or advertising. Its valuable information and priceguide is essential to anyone wishing to know the history of root beer and its advertising. The photo collection is incredible, second to none that I have ever seen before. This book is a must have for any serious collector. I have yet to find any other books in its class or even like it for that matter. The photos are clear and sharp, colorful and informative. The layout is nice easy to find by sections of the different types of items. It is well worth the money and I would highly recommend it to all collectors of root beer.The best thing of all about it is that it does not focus on the major brands of boring yesteryear. It covers hundreds of different brands mostly unknown to many consumers. Knowing of over 1000 different brands of root beer, it is nice that the author didn't spend all of his time covering boring brands such as A & W, Hires, Barq's and the like. This is an excellent book.
