Very good information. Expanded the guide to cover more areas. Photos are very good.

This is a very good book. Full of good illustrations and info.

Very helpfull,easy to understand.

This is a very authoritative book, with contributions by many experts in the field. The main part of the book is full-size pictures of points, organized by region of the country where they were found, and by type. I think it lives up quite well to its reputation.

Great book. Got to meet the author. A very impreesive guy. Knows his stuff.

Looting of archaeological sites is a major concern for people with a genuine interest in history and prehistory. When archaeological sites are destroyed due to looting, useful information about the past is permanently destroyed.

If you appreciate artifacts of ancient cultures and have any respect for history and archaeology, consider learning about projectile points through other sources like academic works. This book is a pricing guide. Buying and selling artifacts like these creates a demand that causes more looting and destroys more history.

This book does not discuss any of these moral delimmas. This book encourages its readers to collect artifacts by buying them, without mentioning that many artifacts for sale have been acquired illegally.

To all would-be collectors bear in mind that taking artifacts from public land is a federal crime. Do not support the illegal artifact trade; do not buy these artifacts.

If you really value history... don't put a price on it.
