An excellent and concise guide which will be particularly useful for the novice, both for home study and in the field.

A good starter guide. Disappointed that none of my bottles were in there though. I guess everything I have is too common. Also I know of bottling plants in Alabama that operated at one time or another through the centuries. One in Blount County bottled water from the sulfur springs nearby and their blue bottles are highly prized here. If you are looking for regionlized highly specific listings such as this you won't find it. I don't recall seeing any mention of Alabama at all in the guide. Though, I certainly could have missed it.
