Here's a sweet treat for collectors of colorful M&M's characters, starring regular and peanut. This is a serious collector's guide to those smiling candies with a tough exterior and a gooey heart, and now has even more wonderful examples. Author Patsy Clevenger, who describes the smiles of the M&M characters as "absolutely infectious," first provides readers with a concise review of the candy's history, including a timeline of M&M colors featured from 1940 through the 1990s. This comprehensive and enjoyable guide then leads the reader on a tasty tour of M&M collectibles, complete with values for the hundreds of items shown, which range from kitchen towels to tins, toppers, posters, and jewelry. Additional sections on advertising items and M&M packaging round out the book.
Reader Reviews
I oredered this book from Amazon.com to get an idea of what my own M&M collection is worth. I chose this book, particularly, because it had the most recent published date and thought it would have the most accurate information. Boy was I disappointed! This book, although more than 100 pages, barely touched on the number of M&M items out there. I have over 100 M&M items in my collection, and maybe 5 were listed in the book. The M&M dispensers, which are a big part of collector's items was barely touched on. I would not recommend anyone waste his/her time purchasing a book that is not comprehensive enough to cover even a small collection.
