Here's a sweet treat for collectors of colorful Mr'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 Mh characters as "absolutely infectious," first provides readers with a concise review of the candy's history, including a timeline of MT colors featured from 1940 through the 1990s. This comprehensive and enjoyable guide then leads the reader on a tasty tour of Mi 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 Mi packaging round out the book. AUTHOR: Patsy Clevenger lives in the wilds of southwest Washington state where she furnishes an 1885, four-story boarding house with many antiques and collectibles, including the characters featured between the covers of this book.
