8-5 What's in these books anyway?
"More PEZ for Collectors" by Richard Geary ($14.95, Schiffer, 1995)
This book is much like Geary's earlier book "PEZ Collectibles". There
are lots of pictures and very little text other than short captions
for the pictures. This book focuses more on the packaging of PEZ than
on the dispensers themselves. It also includes pictures of PEZ
paraphenelia created for the PEZ Conventions.
"A Pictorial Guide to Plastic Candy Dispensers, Featuring PEZ" by
David Welch ($19.95, Bubba Scrubba Publications, 1991) This is a 50
page pictorial which covers PEZ dispensers up to 1991. All photos are
full color. A rarity guide is also included. The book can be ordered
from David Welch for $22.95 (including shipping).
"Collecting PEZ" by David Welch ($39.95, Bubba Scrubba Publications,
1995) This book is 350 pages, with about 275 photos. There are no
duplicate photos from his previous book. The book also includes,
history, about 30 interviews, a price guide, common collector
questions and answers, and a checklist. The book can be ordered from
David Welch for $43.95 (including shipping). This book just came out
in March of 1995.
"PEZ Collectibles" by Richard Geary ($19.95, Schiffer, 1994; revised
1997)
The book is 112 pages and contains full color photos of dispensers,
displays, and other PEZ collectibles. The introduction contains a
short history of PEZ, but this book is mostly a pictorial guide.
The captions give the name of the dispenser and it's estimated
value. The revised 1997 edition contains updated prices and a few
additional pictures.
"The Collector's Price Guide to Plastic PEZ Dispensers"
by Mike Edelman and John Laspina ($10, self-published)
Good identification guide, but no pictures. It includes a price
estimate for each dispenser listed. This one may not be as
complete as Welch's book, but it is the most current and accurate
price guide available.
"PEZ Handbook" by Steve Glew
This is a guide put out by a dealer (Steve Glew) that has industry
information for PEZ and Flix. It also contains his price list.
