<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 211944, member: 4552"]I collect old Red Books. I always found them fairly accurate with information. When the 2006 Edition came out I really blew my top due to all the errors I found. So I started to accumulate a list of all the errors and eventually sent a letter to Whitman detailing all of them. I received a thank you letter and a free copy of one of their books on Silver Dollars. This inspired me to start really looking over the 2007 Edition to see if they had incorporated my findings. Some were and many were not. In the process I found many more so started to document them again. Finally just gave up figuring this book is now just becoming a joke since they are producing editioins almost a year in advance. What good is a 2007 in March of 2006 and now the 2008 is being released in April of 2007. Nuts. That would indicate they started to write the 2008 about a year ago in order to finally publish it now. What good is anything in a book like that now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
