Building on the comprehensive scope of the classic Friedberg text, Q. David Bowers has written a definitive history of paper currency of the United States. Every federal note--from the ultra rare Demand Notes of 1861 to the lunch money in your wallet today--is described in detail. Bowers' engaging narrative captures the romance and history of American paper money, and also explores recent developments in the hobby and market. Combining the hobby-standard Friedberg numbering system with retail prices and hundreds of color and black-and-white photos, this book promises to be a standard reference for years to come.

Comprehensive & useful info,
This review is from: A Guide Book Of United States Paper Money: Complete Source for History, Grading, and Prices (Official Red Book) (Official Red Books) (Paperback)
This book provides comprehensive and useful information. The valuations cover different seals, mints, signatures, and star notes. The book also includes some information about the history of each note. It is easy to find information and lookup valuations. The only negative is the black & white photos make it a little harder to distinguish between different seal colors when looking up info.

This review is from: A Guide Book Of United States Paper Money: Complete Source for History, Grading, and Prices (Official Red Book) (Official Red Books) (Paperback)
This is a very nice book to have in anyone's private library. When I say this book has everything I really mean it. History, grading, pictures and pricing of each and every note ever printed in the United States. I use this book everyday for one thing or another. If your looking to add another reference book to your library or looking for a reference book that has everything then this is defintiely the book for you !!! Not only do I use this book to reference notes for their values but I enjoy sitting around reading the stories in this book about the different notes.

By Skippy D (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide Book Of United States Paper Money: Complete Source for History, Grading, and Prices (Official Red Book) (Official Red Books) (Paperback)
It's been many years since I've had this book. All of my expectations were satisfied. This book has been the "Bible" for US Paper money as long as I can remember. If you want to understand grading, pricing, or just want to learn about an important piece of American history, its worth the money.
