<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 7992720, member: 66&quot;]Also most of the book was actually written in the 1950&#039;s, which is why a lot of the rarity information in it is wrong.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t updated before it was published in 1988.&nbsp; And yes it could have used better editing, but who knows how long that would have delayed it.&nbsp; The editing for the Breen Encyclopedia on the early date large cents took ten years.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as a generalized book though it is rather good, especially for more obscure series and information.&nbsp; In another thread there was a question about the weight of a Rhode Island Ship token.&nbsp; The poster mentioned he had spent a long time trying to find a reference to it.&nbsp; It took me about a minute to find it in the Breen encyclopedia,&nbsp; references to weights for several specimens and a general weight range.&nbsp; I use my copy frequently.&nbsp; (often enough that it is falling to pieces, the binding job was crappy.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
