For centuries Guinness has been a national and international brand leader and it has been a pioneer in the whole area of marketing, branding and advertising. The iconic toucan and the slogan, Guinness is good for you, are universally recognisable, and much-loved symbols of not only the famous stout, but also of good old-fashioned, fun-loving Irishness.
From beer mats to clocks, posters to dinky cars, there are a huge number of items, all bearing the Guinness logo and image, which enjoy increasing value and popularity with international collectors. Visitors to Ireland also seem drawn to the Guinness brand for souvenirs and this handsome hardback book with laminated cover and extensive fully illustrated colour images is sure to attract their attention. The Guide to Guinness Collectables also features a foreword by Rory Guinness.
