3 comments about 101 Ways to Make Money in the Trading-Card Market.

1. If you want to buy this book for advice on which specific players cards to buy, probably the others reviewers are right, but if you want to know the lasting secrets and advice regarding what makes a card good, this is the book for you. I even liked the advice on players, because I checked the last price guides, and it was good as a lesson. Use this book to get knowledge of the craft, that is the intention of this book.



2. This book was written in 1990 and reprinted in 1994! The trading card market has undergone a drastic change since then with the market for baseball cards at an all time low. The authors give stupid advice reflecting the time span missing since it was updated. A few examples: One chapter is titled," SELL YOUR MARK MCGUIRE, RUBEN SIERRA, IVAN RODRIGUEZ,............................CARDS'!!?? The author tells us "McGuire is just not enough of an all-around player to land in Cooperstown"??? Another Chapter tells you to "sell your Nolan Ryan cards". Very bad advice. If you followed this advice in 1990 you would have lost tons of money. Equally bad advice is given on who to buy for the long term investment, they suggest Greg Jefferies, and Larry Walker to name two. They are unremarkable players whose careers are near the end or over. They also suggest to sell the basketnball cards to invest in baseball. This made sense in 1990 when Basketball was not very popular but is now much more popular than Baseball. Now to be fair, they do advise to purchase Jose Caanseco,Barry Bonds, Don Mattingly, etc. The point is, these players are already at the top of their careers and so are the prices for their cards. This book needs to be updated with a new list of potential superstars to invest in. In other respects the book offers some good advice on special issues to collect.



3. This book is great im now making tons of extra money by selling and buying cards at the right time i say buy it if you want to make some cash.

1 comments about Down the Ocean: Postcards from Maryland and Delaware Beaches.

1. A thoroughly enjoyable book, especially for those familiar with Ocean City, MD and the Delaware beaches. Every summer these beaches swell to the sizes of large cities with visitors looking for sun and relaxation by the Atlantic. "Down the Ocean" takes you back, in picture postcards, to a time when these beaches were just gaining their popularity. Early hotels are shown in their heyday. There are views of the Boardwalks and of people in the sun bathing outfits of the early 1900's. I had so much fun with this book I finished it in one sitting and would highly recommend it to others!

1 comments about Dahl's History of the Book.

1. As an artist I travel alot because it is required of me, but when one tours a country they'll never truly know what to expect, especially since tour guides only reveal the good things about their country. This book is really excellent for people who are interested in not only the physical beauty of a country, but its social and political standings. It's very informative and gets staight to the point.

1 comments about The Gehenna Press: The Work of Fifty Years, 1942-1992. The Catalogue of an Exhibition Curated by Lisa Unger Baskin, Containing an Assessment of the Work ... on the Books by the Printer Leonard Baskin..

1. As a beginning student in graphic art, I heard Leonard Baskin speak at the opening of a printing exhibition at Washington University in St. Louis. That experience made The Gehenna Press and Baskin's work alive for me in a way that simple research could not.

   This book contains a bibliography of Gehenna's work which is annotated by Baskin, and that in and of itself makes it beautiful and invaluable. It took Amazon two years to locate the book for me, but it was well worth the wait. If you can find a copy, buy it and cherish it!
