Necco: An Epic Candy Tale
Necco–An Epic Candy Tale • Purchase at Amazon
Necco–The Archive Collection • Purchase at Amazon by Darlene Lacey Click here for press releases. More than a history of the former candy giant, Necco–An Epic Candy Tale explores the history of candy, the family of brands saved by Necco, and the people who made it happen. Necco–The Archive Collection: An Almost Lost history of the New England Confectionery Company is a museum quality catalog based on the original 1950s Necco scrapbook saved by Necco’s vice president of research and development, Jeffrey S. Green. The books are available in hardcover and paperback. You can read more about this project at History Cambridge. FROM THE AUTHOR: With this project, I have worked hard to fact-check company histories and discover details and stories. I have interviewed former Necco workers and fellow candy historians. My extensive research has required more than 1,000 sources to verify stories, date the packaging, describe long-defunct candies, uncover people’s life stories and explore the larger context of the world while events were taking place at Necco. |
