[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1423630, member: 36230"]Jason, I am rather surprised by how you are looking at this. If you find 250 pages to be "useless", that's fine, but what about the other 500 or so pages? Did you expect up to date transaction records from a book released almost 25 years ago? Any book - Tomaska's included - will only be worth what [U]you[/U] can take from it. The Breen encyclopedia is a general reference and not a specialty book, just as Tomaska's book was not intended for the experienced Franklin/Kennedy collector/dealer. A book is a learning tool and can only help as much as you let it. There are countless books that could be recommended, but no one else can say what is of interest to you. If you see a book and think you may like it, buy it. The worst that can happen is it sits on a shelf and is right there in case it is someday needed. P.S. Here is a suggestion for you; [URL]http://blog.davidlawrence.com/[/URL] Also, Stanton does have a video on collecting Franklin halves. :)[/QUOTE]
