Description: Limited edition leatherette copy of Picnics, Coffins, Shoo-Flies by John L. Thomas, published March 1974. As stated in the forward, "This book deals with...three types of glass flasks – the picnic or pumpkinseed flask, the coffin flask and the shoo fly flask" and is an excellent guide for bottle collectors, especially those interested in wine or liquor bottles. Gold sticker on front endpaper reads: "This book is one of a limited edition of one hundred copies. These one hundred copies are the only hardbound books made of the first printing of 1,000 copies. Each is numbered and signed by the author. It was the intent of the author to see that close friends and major contributors to the book had an opportunity to receive this special printing." The sticker is signed and numbered 89. The inscription by the author reads: "Happy birthday Barbara, your friend John L. Thomas May 19, 1974 Read No. 190!" The description of bottle 190 in the book was written by Barbara Coggins. I’ve listed several books about collecting bottles and fruit jars, some of which are signed. If you’re interested in multiple books, I’m happy to negotiate a deal for you! Please message with any questions. Happy shopping!
