Beer Tap Markers Book direct from author. Best deal going

Description

Greetings
Thanks for checking out my listing.  I am the author of this book...Vintage Beer Tap Markers.  If you have not acquired the book, I hope you will consider purchasing it from me.  As the author, the royalty from the publisher is very small.  The profit from direct selling helps make books like this more feasible for persons to publish topics of interest to collectors.   You may find it for a bit lower price elsewhere on ebay, but I hope you will help support authors by buying direct whenever possible.  I will enscribe your book and ship it to whomever you wish.  Book is sent via media mail.  International shipments at prevailing rates.
The second volume of this effort is now underway and I will be compiling additional photos for the new book.  I have over 500 photos not used in Volume I and will be seeking participation by other collectors to make the next edition a reality.  In addition to missing ball knobs, the next edition will include a variety of what I call the next generation of tap knobs.  These are describe in the current book.  A third edition is in the planning stages and will include tap makers of a more current vintage.
A word of caution to ebay buyers that a claim of "not in the book" for the most part is just marketing.  The book in print and coming will approach 4000 tap knobs.  I you have any knob in the current book and wish to shoot me a picture, I would be pleased to include your entry in the mix.
If you are interested in sharing knobs not presently included in volume I, please drop me a note.

Table of Contents
Following the end of Prohibition on April 7, 1933, U.S. federal and state governments set specific requirements regarding the identification of beer being dispensed from taps in taverns. The tap, faucet, or other delivery system had to be clearly marked with the name of the beer being dispensed, leading to the development of a tap marker industry. Through the mid-1950s, a style of tap marker nicknamed the "ball" knob was widely used. Now highly collectible, more than 2000 colorful ball knobs are presented in this comprehensive and unique book. The knobs represent 1000 brands of beer manufactured by over 675 breweries and are classified by state in which the brewery was located. Because the laws also applied to imported beers, an additional section features many popular post-World War II beers that also used a "ball" style tap marker. Includes valuable information on the history of ball knobs, dates of use, grading, pricing, manufacturers, and a detailed index of breweries. A wonderful addition to every breweriana collector's library!
