We have purchased previous editions of this book , and Molly Higgins is the best when it comes to the most complete Jim Beam Library. This book has really helped my husband and I to enjoy our favorite hobby of beam bottle collecting. Thanks to Molly Higgins we know exactly what we should be paying for a bottle. We also know when someone is trying to pull a fast one. Thanks again for a great book!

I have recently been acquiring some Jim Beam decanters on eBay. After the fact, I was able to locate each one of them in this book. Mostly it is a picture book. But the photographs are of high quality. For anybody interested in Jim Beam decanters, I would recommend this book.
