4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Little Book For Ad Thermometer Collectors !!, December 14, 2001

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

This is a brand new year 2001 book with more than 400 large, full color, sharp photos of every type of advertising thermometer. Values are year 2001. There's not a lot of text in this softbound, small format book, but it's loaded with beautiful pictures of this popular collectible. Major topics include: agriculture, automotive, beverage, food, funeral and ambulance, healthcare, industry, and tobacco. The smaller size makes it handy to take with you when you shop for these items. Collectors will find it of value.
