Allan Petretti and Chris H. Beyer
_:
The first book devoted exclusively to this topic, this volume features large, full-color photographs of each calendar and each calendar variation; detailed history and descriptions; and current market values. This guide continues the assignment of "Petretti numbers" providing collectors and dealers a standard way to easily identify the unique item they want to buy or sell.
This new hardbound 176 page beauty of a library volume with colorful plastic laminated covers features 125 full color and 20 black and white very large, sharp photos of these gems. Its loaded with information including: Development of early printing and advertising, role of promotional materials in the early years of the Coca-Cola Company, Distributor Calendars, Bottler Calendars, Foreign Calendars, Home and Reference Calendars. A complete Guide For Collectors tells you what to collect, preservation and display of early calendars, protecting, restoration info, and a very complete grading guide. 1999 values are shown in 3 grades. A really beautiful and unique new reference that belongs in the collector's library.

Second book in Petretti's/Beyer's comprehensive look at specific areas of Coca-Cola collecting. This book provides a great deal of history behind the calendars as well as some beautiful color pictures of nearly every calendar that Coke ever released, including some very rare pre-1900 calendars. There is a guide to storing and preserving calendars in the back, as well as the most up-to-date price guide available on the subject. Those who bought Classic Coca-Cola Trays know what to expect and others should be pleasantly surprised. Recommend this book to collectors (a must!) and to anybody that is interested in the history of advertising.
