Or could there possibly be knowledge in them that make them worth it? Have you even taken one of these great books for a series you collect and really gone through it? I have LOTS of examples of where I bought a book and it paid for itself within a month.</p><p> </p><p>Yes, I 100% agree, there are lots of bad books, especially for US coins. I agree you should not just buy the cheapest, you should ask nice members here that collect that series what is their recommendations. But to say ALL books are worthless therefor is silly. The internet can be a good resource, but by definition you are trusting the attribution and information is correct, and the authors of these sites are correctly interpreting the data. Why not go to the source? I find hundred upon hundreds of laughable errors on coin websites every year. The internet has no editorial control, something the youngest generation is not appreciating enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
