Guys,

Is there a good book to get started with for someone who wants to learn about vending machines of the 1950's and earlier.

Thank You

"Classic Soda Machines" by Jeff Walters is pretty much the bible.  The prices are outdated but it covers most of the machines that you might run across.  And whats not in there is in the soda machine library on this site.  The Walters book is out of print and the last time somebody was looking for it the price was getting up there.  There are copies out there though.

I don't think it matters.. The prices are out of date on both copies. Its good just to give you an idea of what the machine looks like..

The 3rd edition is he last reprint of the book and that is from 1999.  As pointed out by Dave, any edition will do as it is a reference at this point and not a blue book for values.
