The listing, 1996 OLYMPIC GAMES COUNTDOWN The Official Book of Olympic Games Pin Collecting has ended.
Up for bid is a Coca-Cola production book "1996 Olympic Games Countdown ~ The Official Book of Olympic Games Pin Collecting". It includes a special 2-year calendar. Contains 96 pages (9" x 11½") and is spiral bound. Excellent condition.
I got this when I was collecting Olympic pins for my grandson. It was kept in excellent shape, and I recently sold the pins to help with his college tuition, so am offering the book to Listians that might be Olympic pin collectors.
I scanned back, front, and three inside pages. I wanted to keep the book free from handling as much as possible.
The Coca-Cola logo seems to be on almost every page, and I have scanned one page which is a neat Coke ad (suitable for framing, should you choose to take it out of the book!).

*From Athens to Atlanta: 100 years of Olympic Game Pins
