This review is from: Warman's North American Indian Artifacts: Identification and Price Guide (Paperback)

I thumbed through this book at the local borders store and found many, many errors or fact and just plain misidentifications. Whoever put this pile of dung together was totally clueless about Indian artifacts. One field that interested me was the crooked knives but in this book it is called "Crook Knives". I'm sure General Crook would be flattered but its just plain wrong. Then I went to the tomahawks--Oh my God! African axes, Indonesian axes, nearly everything EXCEPT a Native American tomahawk was there. That was enough for me. ..nice pictures though ;)

Nice pictures and informative. The only problem is it uses auction prices instead of true value.
