Customer Reviews

Must Have for Pez Collectors!
The pictures are the best I've seen in a Pez book. Having a picture of the ultra-rare Lemon Crazy Fruit and Pez Pal Admiral are the closest I will ever come to having the real thing in our collection. Some of my favorite pictures are the glow-in-the-dark dispensers. They actually glow in the pictures. And the variations that are pictured are fabulous - that in itself has given me a renewed interest in getting all the variations (mostly because I didn't know they existed until I saw them in this book). The way it's sorted is great too -- it's easy to navigate and find what you're looking for really quickly. There's an illustration glossary for beginners -- it actually shows a picture of what a "melt mark", etc. is. He has price ranges listed for all the dispensers too. It's my favorite PEZ book so far!

The Best of What's Out There
Although it's not a highly competitive category, this book takes the top spot in Pez guides.
Being the newest, it has the most up to date pictures, prices and products.
The extended section on candy packs, and Pez paper products/inserts is helpful, as other books lacked in that departement.
Overall it's a solid price and picture book, with accurate estimates and such. It's the best of what's out there, so it's worth a shot.

Excellant, up-to-date source of PEZ information!
The book is packed with 160 pages of color photos, including items as new as the worm, catapillar,ladybug and 2000 version of Peter Pez to such rare one-of-a-kind items as all of the Disney soft heads, the Admiral (only one known to exist) Worlds Fair Astronaut, and the Crazy Fruit Lemon prototype and everything in between! There are 22 chapters dealing with such things as history, pricing information, ad sheets, candy packs, displays, conventions and newsletters. This is a must have for all serious PEZ collectors!
