[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1779232, member: 36230"]QBD is no Detecto, sir. ;) Seriously though, the books of this that I've read have all been okay, and at least off the top of my head I cannot think of any where I've had issues with the overall info, and with good reason. My earlier point had more to do with where you are at with your hobby. As an example with one of his Whitman books, let use the one on Morgans. It's a fine book, but rather basic and geared more towards the newer to intermediate collector, so for one already experienced in this area, there are others that would likely be better buys. This is similar Rick Snow's Whitman/redbook on FE/IHCs: fine work, but if you're looking for more than the basics, this really is not the place to find it. I do not see you going wrong with any of Mr. Bowers' books, but depending on which you choose, how much they will help will depend on your own knowledge and experience. It has been one of those days, so I do hope this makes sense.[/QUOTE]
