<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 125359, member: 4552"]I"ve been buying the Red Book as close to when it comes out every year since the 8th Edition. I've still got them all. I've never seen them this early in the year. Yes, early like cars, but never this early. I think this is due to all the complaints of errors they received about the 2006 edition. And as to the lack of coin information not in this book, if you check out the Whitman web site you'll see they have now added numerous other books that describes all the details of many denominations. For instance there is the one on Morgan Silver Dollars, one one cents, separate ones for many things so they just leave out much of the details in the Red Book itself. Then they also now have the ringed version, soft cover version, hard bound cover and the leather bound version.</p><p> As for prices, there are numerous dealers I know that like to open that Red Book to show people what a great deal they are getting with this purchase. However, with the recent massive increase in coin prices at the coin shows I go to and also with individual dealers, the prices in this Red Book will be completely useless. </p><p>Possilby any mid year Mint releases would also be completely missed. </p><p> I've got 2 different WalMarts by my house and have never even seen a book section. I'll hve to check out thier web site. I don't know how they can sell them for less than Whitmank, but a dealer I used to know used to also be able to sell them for lots less than Whitman and with him no sales tax or shipping. This is something I'd like to know how it is possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
