5.0 out of 5 stars Confederate Paper Money Book for the 21st Century, May 15, 2007

By	Edwin P. Fricke Jr. "Pierre Fricke" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Replaces and upgrades the 20th century Criswell series with a modern variety numbering system, grading, prices, new ways to collect, and a detailed history, census, provenance, rarity and pricing guide unparallelled in the paper money hobby. If you spend more than $200 on Confederate paper money or have a collection of more than a couple of notes, this book will pay for itself - perhaps many, many times over. Differentiate your collection by attributing with PF numbers which indicate better quality attribution, grading and value. This is the book some dealers do not want YOU to have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fricke Collecting Confederate Paper Money/Review, May 24, 2007

By	W. Mcnair Tornow - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Anyone even interested in collecting Confederate Paper Money definitely needs this book, for not only is it informative and well-organized with accompanying pictures and information re the rarity of these Notes, but there is unique information based upon exhaustive research and sources. Without this tome, much of this information would possibly be lost and/or would have never become available. A great job!! McNair

5.0 out of 5 stars Collecting Confederate Paper Money by Pierre Fricke ...review by Randy Shipley , June 5, 2007

By	Randy Shipley (Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr. Fricke's work, coupled with unparalleled data compiled by the late Douglas B. Ball, PH.D., represents the most comprehensive, informative and sorely needed reference relative to CSA paper money ever assembled. This book takes the collecting of CSA paper money to an entirely new, lofty level and is a must have for everyone--from the beginning collector to the most advanced. Obscure, priceless information, heretofore available only to a few, is now available to everyone...as it is set forth in vivid detail within these pages. Easy to use...a tremendous step forward to all of numismatics. Simply magnificant. Randy Shipley
