The Beer Collectors of America® welcomes you to what is simply the most comprehensive guide to U.S. cone-top and flat-top beer cans ever published.

It's dedicated to every collector who has ever snooped around in the forgotten corners of beer store coolers, crawled into steamy attics or under spider-infested porches, rescued cans from years of entombment inside the walls of old buildings or resurrected them from dump sites that are home to all manner of tiny creatures that slither, buzz and bite.

Inside United States Beer Cans you'll find razor-sharp full-color photographs of nearly 7,300 cans. Every attempt was made to photograph the very best available example of every known cone-top and flat-top can, including variations. (If you have a can that isn't pictured in this book, or you see an error, let the BCCA know.) This job was so big that it took five years, visits to just about avery major specialized and general collection in the country and the combined experience of scores of the hobby's most knowledgable collectors.

Although unknown variations of cans still pop up, only a handfull of entirely different labels have come to light in the last 20 years. As a result, it's safe to assume that pictured between these covers you'll find known varieties of the vast majority of the pre-tab-top labels ever produced.

The book's pricing information is every bit as sharply focused as the photographs. It draws on the experience of many of today's most respected collectors and leading dealers, including specialists in local or regional brands and breweries or types of cans. Not only will it give you a general appreciation of the relative rarity of cans in excellent shape, it will also serve as an invaluable resource as you search for new gems to add to your collection.
