DALLAS – Looking through antiques stores while traveling through Texas, Bill Waters stumbled across a beat up old book filled with formulas.He bought it for $200, suspecting he could resell it for five times that. Turns out, his guess about the book's value was more spot on than he knew.
Bill Waters eventually discovered the book came from the Waco, Texas, drugstore where Dr Pepper was invented and includes a recipe titled "D Peppers Pepsin Bitters."
"I began feeling like I had a national treasure," said Waters, 59.
Dr Pepper's manufacturer says the recipe is not the secret formula for the modern day soft drink, but the book is expected to sell between $50,000 to $75,000 when it goes up for sale on May 13.
Questions:
1) Where was the book discovered?
2) Who bought the book and how much did he pay for it?
3) How much is the book expected to sell for?
4) When will the book go up for sale?
