Just a Fun Book

This book is probably not for the serious collector who is looking for accurate values and in-depth information. But I sure found it a really fun book to browse. It is full of colored photos of Drug Store/Soda shop items, many of which I recognized still being used in the 50's in the area where I lived. There are many photos of Drug Store museums that are fun to look at too. It did help me to identify some of the things I have collected thru the years too.
