This review is from: The great American candy bar book (Paperback)
I read about this book in Steve Almond's Candyfreak, which devotes a chapter to Almond's meeting with author Ray Broekel. Though dated (published in 1982), this is an affectionate look at the history of individually wrapped candy bars, told in short chapters telling the story both chronologically and regionally. There are lots of illustrations of candy bars, wrappers, displays and ads, with an eight-page center section of color advertisements.
This fun book concludes with an informative list of more candy manufacturers; an interesting peek at the 1981 National Candy Buyers Bar Survey; the author's 20 favorites; and photo credits. The book really suffers from the lack of an index, but is so much fun I can't bring myself to reduce the star rating.
