Cereal Books Cereal Boxes of the 1970's and 1980's
We have received a number of inquiries looking for books featuring cereal boxes of the 1970's and 1980's. These books do not exist. Our best hope for such a book was author Scott Bruce. Scott Bruce has indicated that he will not publish any more cereal books.
