C. Arbuckle Brothers' Labels and Trademarks in the Order of Usage
...followed by Notes and a Bibliography.
All in all, this is a fantastic "coffee" table book and a must-have for any Arbuckle Coffee collector or enthusiast. Original publisher's list price was $50.00.
Copyright: 1994, Texas Western Press, The University of Texas at El Paso.
Condition: Very good+, I'd say. While the dust jacket is a bit ragged along the edges, with tears at the bottom corners (see photos), the book itself is in excellent condition, showing no signs of use.
**NOTE**: Shipping charges are discounted when more than one of my items are purchased at the same time. See what else I have to offer!
