3.0 out of 5 stars Wide but not Deep, August 15, 2008

By	Nickie O. - See all my reviews

This book has a lot of different categories and therefore none are complete. You will get a sampling of items across different areas and times, but this will not help you identify the vast majority of what you own or are looking to buy. Price guide in the back only covers those items pictured in the book. Is a good starter book, probably not for the serious collector.
