Yeah, very nice link. Nice enough, actually, to wonder if I should sell my copy of WB! :)
Yeah, I heard that one got pricey. I don't think they ever reprinted it, and its a good book. I would borrow a copy from interlibrary loan if I...
Wiley Bugert, (sp?). It is the definitive, (or was), SL half book when I collected SL halves heavily. It went through every date/mm and discussed...
I believe WB has it. There are TONS of varieties not in Redbooks. No one should ever use the Redbook as a definitive guide to varieties. Its...
