<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 263921, member: 4552"]I collect those things and don't know why. I have from the 8th Edition to present, all hard bound covers. Also, that special edition reprint of the first one in 1947. Sure wish I kept them all back then. I started collecting coins in 1943. What I've been doing since the ringed version and soft cover versions came out is to buy one hard cover for my collection and two ringed ones for usage. I also buy about 10 ringed ones for Christmas Presents. I have the one with the missing page also. </p><p>Now here is something. For a few years now I've been sending Mr. Dennis Tucker, Publisher at Whitman a list of all the errros I find in the Red Book. Usually he is polite and wards off my complaints with almost logical answers. Many of the items I sent were suggestions, not errors and basically ignored. An example of a suggestion was to number all pages regardless of if an add or normal info. As you can see some add pages are numbered and some are not. A comical error was in the 2008 version where on page 6 all items listed after Commemoratives are 2 page numbers off. </p><p>I've complained to just about everyone about the stupidity of having the editions come out with dates on them almost a year in advance. I remember way, way back when I used to wait for about August for the next edtion. Now it is almost out at the beginning of the previous year. Example is the 2008 version came out in about April of 2007. What next? A 2106 Edtion in 2010? </p><p> Anyway if you want a copy of all my griping about the Red Book, let me know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
