Cool pix, but where's the beef?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Matchcover Collector's Price Guide (Paperback)
Lots of cool pictures. I've spent hours looking at them, but I really wanted more info like how I can place a value on matchcovers. Also looked for tips on how to take care of matchcovers, but I didn't see much. I think this stuff is important, so I had to buy another book by someone else. To bad this book doesn't cover that stuff. If you don't care much about reading and just want the pix, the book is OK.

Disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Matchcover Collector's Price Guide (Paperback)
I've spent a lot of time in this industry, and I was disappointed to see the lack of accuracy with many basic details. Clearly the guy has a lot of experience with this subject area, but his manner of encapsulating his knowledge should have been done more at arm's length, rather than attempting to come across as a one-size-fits-all solution, again, because it looks like it took a serious toll on accuracy. If you're looking for pictures and tidbits, then go for it, but what about the bigger picture? Perhaps his next release will cover this. One other thing: I found lots of typos and grammatical errors. Again, perhaps the next releast will fix these too. I would wait until then.

A Great Reference Book For Matchbook Collectors.,
This review is from: The Matchcover Collector's Price Guide (Paperback)
304 pages jam packed with information. Features over 350 photos and illustrations, many in full color. More than 10,000 matchcovers are described with estimated values provided. Tells the history, how to grade, beginners tips and hints, company trademarks and more. Matchcover collectors are sure to learn from this book and will refer to it often. Very useful and interesting.
