<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 256310, member: 4552"]I have to agree that the Red Book is really great for general information. They have over 60 years of experience in that book. It used to be a book that came out a little early like in late Fall. WAy, way back then it was the only price guide for everyone. Then suddenly those wierdos at Whitman went nutty with the dates. If you consider it takes months to accumulate all the info, supposedly checking it out, printing preparations and then the actual printing the 2008 version was probably started in Spring of 2006 so what good is the prices in there. No one working at Whitman is able to forsee the future so prices are just a wild guess and have nothing to do with reality. No wonder everyone is confused with the dates on the cover of the Red Book. Here it still is only the middle of 2007 and the 2008 edition is out for many, many months. </p><p>I would guess by this fall the 2009 Edition will be out and then by Spring of 2008 the 2010 Edition will be available. Just think by the year 2015 Whitman will have the 2137 Edition out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
