After eagarly awaiting the arrival of this book, I must say that I was not dissapointed at all. The information that is provided, is complete, detailed, and easy to understand. If you are trying to date an erector set, or discover what the contents should, this book is for you.

My thanks to Bill Bean for providing a reference manual that really does what it is supposed to.

This is the best book I have found as far as Erector sets go. Very informative , full of pictures and charts to help you complete your set. It also gives values to help in your search of the parts you are missing. I can't say enough about this book . I own both Vol 1&2. I am very happy with them after about a 1 1/2 year search.

THIS IS THE QUINTESENTIAL REFERENCE FOR ALL ERECTOR COLLECTORS AS WELL AS BUILDERS. I HAVE HAD THIS BOOK FOR 2+ YEARS NOW AND CAN'T PUT IT DOWN. I CONSTANTLY USE THE EASY TO FOLLOW PROGRESSIONS TO EVALUATE A SET BEFORE I PURCHASE IT AND USE IT AFTER PURCHASING FOR ACCURATE INVENTORY OF THE PARTS WITHIN THE SETS. I WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT THIS MANUAL IF I WERE EVEN THINKING ABOUT STARTING AN ERECTOR COLLECTION. COVERS SETS FROM 1933 -1962. BILL BEAN AND AL STERNAGLE HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESEARCH BEFORE WRITING THIS MANUAL. THE PREDECESSOR TO THIS BOOK, VOLUME 1 IS JUST AS CONCISE AND I RECOMMEND THAT MANUAL AS WELL. TOGETHER, THEY COVER ERECTOR FROM THE CRADLE TO THE PROVERBIAL "GRAVE"...A++++++ IN ALL RESPECTS..G.D/AKA... "DOGWRINKLES"
