1 comments about Guide Book of United States Currency (Official Whitman Guidebook Series).

1. Needs more pictures, especially the Morgan Dollar. Left it out completely which is absurd, considering it is probably the most widely collected U.S coin. Still, it is very usefull when used in conjunction with another book, like the 2006 Black Book. It is also a 2004 Edition, so the prices are not up to speed, hence using two books.

2 comments about Caring for Your Family Treasures: Heritage Preservation.

1. This is a most useful, new (year 2000) 164 page, fully illustrated guide to preserving your family treasures. All of the information in this lovely guidebook was approved by a panel of experts. Topics range from protecting photos, film and videos, movies, paintings, clothing, furniture, glassware and musical instruments, to dolls, toys, natural items and military things, and more. The chapters are very concise, yet complete. Instructions are complete, and simple to follow. It even covers security and insurance of items. The time to begin preserving the items is now, and this book really shows you how. Add it to your library.



2. This book is a treasure and a saviour. I was able to preserve my family heritage using advise and techniques I learned from this book. It describes how to salvage and protect everything from paper items to military mementos. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone who is interested in keeping their family's keepsakes in good shape. Kudos to those who put this book together. It was as if they were talking to me!

2 comments about Telephones: Antique To Modern (Schiffer Book for Collectors).

1. This book would make a welcome addition to any library for those who have
   an interest in telephones and related items. This book contains many photos in color of virtually every telephone produced through the years since the production of the early prototype. Also included is pricing of the many telephones pictured in the book. Kate E. Dooner also has other books on the subject of telephones, which I proudly own.



2. Kate Dooners book is refreshingly simple but full of good information. Well laid out, there are excellent photographs of telephones. She has categorised them easily so a prior knowledge of telephones is superfluous - hence this book has a lot of appeal to non professionals. The actual size of each portrayed phone is given in inches, the year of manufacture is noted and to round it off, current market value in US$.

   The quality of the photographs are very good with details easily discernable consequently making it rather easy to identify whether Granny's old phone really is worth dispalying.

   The only potential drawback is that the book has predominately American manufacturing companies and American phones. A similar book focusing on non US phones would be a wonderful companion and extremely valuable. Can't you imagine the same book with arabic or mandarin writing on the dials? Gilt, colours, different woods....

   However in the meantime this book is a pleasure to browse through and for telephone amateurs and professionals well worth purchasing
