5.0 out of 5 stars A great artifact information source, March 29, 2000

This review is from: Collecting Indian Knives (Paperback)

I found this book to be a great source of information on arrowheads and knives. His hypothesis on the difference between arrowheads and knives makes sense.Filled with great photos. I would reccomend this book to the novice and experienced collector alike. Many photos you won't see in the Overstreet guide and other publications.
