Customer Reviews

A must-have for anybody wanting to have a PEZ collection.
This book influenced my PEZ collecting greatly. At first, you think PEZ are little character toys that slide out candy. "Collecting PEZ" takes you behind the scenes. It gives you patent information, interviews with employees, a price guide, nice color photographs of nearly all of the different dispensers, and much, much more. It is a very big book and will answer all PEZ questions. I have even heard it called "The PEZ Bible." This is a must-have if you are a PEZ collector.

Exhaustive research that ultimately exhausts the reader
There's a lot of good information in "Collecting PEZ" by David Welch. Unfortunately, you'll have to wade through a lot of irrelevant stories and details to find it. As someone who has been collecting PEZ for years, I would recommend this book only to the very serious collector who's geniunely interested in how the PEZ company evolved into an international candy conglomerate. For the beginning collector, I would recommend Shawn Peterson's "Collectors Guide to PEZ," which contains more photographs and more current information.

Lot of Information
Good book for the person who loves a large amount of information on Pez. If you are mainly wanting a guide and pictures I suggest "Collectors Guide to Pez : Identification and Price Guide
by Shawn Peterson". Welch's book gives a LOT of history about the company which may not be appealing to everyone. It focused mainly on history and older pez items than trying to cover Pez in general. Gives a lot of information you won't find elsewhere. The size of this book can prove intimidating to the novice collector :)
