5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Full Color Volume of Pepsi Collectibles, April 2, 2002

By	Irvin Goodman - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A brand new, year 2002, hard-bound library volume containing 256 pages with more than 2,000 large, full color, sharp photos of every type of Pepsi collectible. Current values are shown. Items are listed by category, including signs, containers, novelties, toys and accessories and paper items. Sufficient text is included, covering Pepsi Collectibles, Reference Guide, History of Pepsi, History of Pepsi Trademerks and Advertising Slogans. I found the "Paper Items" section particularly interesting. Add it to your library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but lacks content, October 3, 2003

By	Fussy "ran14813" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This is the only Pepsi guide book that I have, and I'm not real happy with it. It is inadequate, hardly scratching the surface of all the Pepsi collectibles out there.

As with most other collectibles guides, the back index leaves much to be desired. I guess the author agrees because he omitted it completely. Big mistake.

Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of Pepsi guides out there, like there are for Coke. But that doesn't mean this one is the "bible" of Pepsi collecting; it doesn't come close. I'm hard-pressed to figure out why others have written such glowing reviews for it.

It's pretty, but it's incomplete, the prices are all over the map, there's no back index...but there's very little competition.
