From the Publisher
As soon as Jim Megura did his update on BOTTLES I had to turn immediately to the Avon Bottles section. It took me right back to sitting in my grandmother's kitchen, looking through the catalog the Avon lady left, and admiring all the goodies, particularly the fancy bottles filled with scent. Sometimes I got to pick out a bottle of cologne for myself, too. All those bottles are long gone now, but I had to take a look to see if I recognized any on the list.
Jim has done a wonderful job of providing up-to-date prices and new information, and the 8-page color insert is particularly lush. The book is a real treat for bottle collectors.
