Collecting Pez

David Welch exhaustively investigates the history of PEZ in the US through interviews with former employees of PEZ and early distributors. Included are a price guide; a PEZ timeline; and hundreds of pictures of the dispensers, the people, and the places that are PEZ. In addition, Mr. Welch has assembled one of the largest `paper' collections of PEZ related ad sheets, displays, and premium offers found anywhere in the world and adds many prints from his personal collection giving the reader a true feel for the evolution of what has become one of the hottest collectables today.

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.

From the 50's to present day, Pez has always intriqued us, What is it about the cartoon dispenser's ready at the tilt of a head to give you a sweet fruit candy to enjoy. This book's brings back those fond memory's of Pez from when you were a child, like the Pez Gun, that you could use to shoot Pez into your Buddy's mouth, which was a real hit with the mom's out there . And also Pez accessories like Pez Jewelry and even Pez Watches, Whatever it is that has fascinated us with Pez in the past years has been captured in this book by David Welch.
