This review is from: Bud Hastins Avon Collectors Ency & California Perfume Co (Bud Hastin's Avon and Collector's Encyclopedia) (Paperback)
I have been collecting Avon bottles for many years for resale. This book is very helpful and the pictures are outstanding. I would recommend that Avon collectors have a copy for themselves.

The Seventeenth Edition,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bud Hastins Avon Collectors Ency & California Perfume Co (Bud Hastin's Avon and Collector's Encyclopedia) (Paperback)
As a whole it is fantastic. But, by not listing the men's by name, such as "Leather"; it caused me a lot of time and trouble trying to find it.
