Authors: Bates, Paul and Bates, Karen
Publisher: Interactive Books (Goodlettsville, TN)
Pub Date: 1989
Binding: Paperback (comb binding)
Condition: Fair. Comb binding tight, no missing or broken teeth. No tears, bends, folds. Smudging to upper rear cover corner. Light edge and corner wear.
Notes: Not a reading volume, reference only. Great for identification, but no valuations. Arranged by state, including Canada and Mexico. Also includes a “Brand Name Study” (Big Chief to Try-me). “The earliest form of labeling was embossing where raised glass letters and decoration was created as part of the bottle mold. This label was used primarily as a means of getting the bottle returned for refills.” (From Historical Review of Soda Beverages). I’m pretty sure this is a Print-on-Demand type of volume, primarily due to the poor photo reproduction of the bottles.
