5.0 out of 5 stars
The only book you need if you collect American records,
This review is from: Warman's American Records: Identification and Price Guide, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
The author clearly put great personal effort and care into crafting this book, which is a refreshing concept after seeing so many price guides that were obviously slapped together for a quick buck. I've read Miller's writing in several magazines. He's excellent. I also think he's right on the money with the prices, which reflects the fact that he is, himself, a record collector. This book is worth every penny.

Some TLC sure, but horribly organized,

This review is from: Warman's American Records: Identification and Price Guide, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book seems to have been written with the beginning record collector in mind and as such it's great, providing so many minute details that I'm not familiar with as a collector myself. However, the prices are dispersed almost nonsensically across the book. For example, I just picked up Chubber Checker's Loddy Lo \ Hooka Tooka to see what it said, found three separate Chubby Checker entries in the index in completely different parts of the book, none of which were this single.
I sincerely appreciate the comments on the 45s and I've learned a lot about my own collection from casual glances in the middle, but it's too thin and too unorganized to act as a real price guide.
