3 comments about Collector's Digest to Beer Cans.

1. This 157 page, softbound 5 x 8" book is handy to keep with you as you look for beer cans to add to your collection. There are nearly 6,000 full color pictures in this book and thousands more listed ! It covers the period 1932 to 1975. A glossary of terms is provided, and information about can condition. It includes half gallon cans, cone tops, and new finds. Every beer can collector will find this a great reference to keep handy. Values are 1995.



2. This book would have benefitted hugely from a bit of competent editing by someone possessed of a nodding familiarity with English grammar and usage, and perhaps an eye for layout; the text meant to accompany the photographs may be related to them only with difficulty. Overall, the Collector's Digest to Beer Cans exudes the cobbled-together aura of earnest, well-meaning, but ultimately amateurish production. The photographs themselves are nicely executed, though perhaps smaller than utility would dictate. The array of cans represented pictorally and, in a later section, textually, is fairly extensive, though not comprehensive by any means. Certainly, this is a very useful book for the price; one finds, though, that it merely whets the appetite for more thoroughgoing references.



3. This edition was an appreciated update to the previous edition. This is the 3rd edition that I have purchased. This edition includes 1995 updated prices to the previous version of the book which listed beer cans produced through 1975. It also includes a section with pictures and prices of 236 interesting pull tab cans produced from 1975 to at least 1982. This book is a good pictorial display and reference price guide of some 8300 beer cans including 7276 12 oz flat top & pull tab cans, 514 16 oz cans, 413 12 oz cone tops, and 72 7,8,&10 cans. This book also has price listings without pictures for an additional 400 or so 12 oz cone tops, 145 quart cones, 3 16 oz cones, 27 gallons, & one 1/2 gallon. This is an excellent reference book. I highly recommend it. I would like to see a future edition with more of the 12 oz cones pictured. I eagerly await the next edition.

3 comments about Official Price Guide to Beer Cans, 5th Edition (Official Price Guide to Beer Cans).

1. Cans are categorized by State, so you have to hunt through the entire book if you don't know what state the can is brewed in; this is a poor method of organization.



2. This text was well organized and easy to use. Beer cans were seperated by state so cans of the same name could be distinguished by their particular brewery. Information seemed accurate and very helpful



3. I just want to know when this book was published.
   I have other books on beer cans but they are 7 to 15 years old.
   I just want to find a updated price book on beer cans. Can any one help me??

1. If you collect beer cans, want to start collecting beer cans, used to collect beer cans or are just interested in advertising collectibles, this is the ultimate book on American Beer Cans. It collects all of the information from previous publications and smashes it together with info from the beer can scholars of the world to come up with the most complete and accurate book yet. If you can't buy this here you can get it dirrectly from the Beer Can Collectors of America websight, at [website]. Ignore the person trying to sell this as a collectible for [money], it's only [money]new or [money]if you are a member of the club or join the club (only [money]).

2 comments about The Beer Can Collector's Bible.

1. Reference book. This book really is the bible for beercan collectors, people interested in development of the modern can structure (from the bottle through cone tops, steel through aluminum), or people who want to look into the history of cans/breweries that were in their local areas. A lot of fun just to turn through the pages.
   There are 124 pages to the paperback edition (not sure if there was a hardcover edition). Pages 49-124 have apprx. 45 cans pictured per page listed alphabetically with a short description at the page bottom of the brewers name, location, and date.
   Pages 1-23 describe old breweries, cans, pull top evolution and how to rate can conditions. Also brief pointers on how to restore old cans.
   The cans are mostly American but some foriegn cans are shown as well.
   Obviously much has happened in the beer industry since this book was published but it is the best point of departure for anyone interested in cans or brewery items. One day the Smithsonian will have a can collection and this book will be on display with it.



2. This is the greatest reference book for antique beer cans ever!!! Incredible color photos and great information about the cans!!!! Loved it!!!
