Book: The Official Blackbook Price Guide to Us Postage Stamps 2008 by Thomas E. H... 
Not a valid price guide
17 out of 18 people found this review helpful
A new edition of this mass market paperback gets printed every year. I can only hope that most copies get recycled. I'm of the opinion that the highest and best use of these books is mulch or compost. T... read full review

A must have for every collector of United States stamps

Book: Nascar Diecast and Model Cars by Bill Coulter (2001, Paperback) 
A big disappointment
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful
This book has very little to offer someone who is interested in diecast collecting and diecast values. The book contains some interesting photos and NASCAR history, but mostly sizzle with very little steak. Sav... read full review

Excellent Reference, but no Scott Catalogue numbers
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful
You will find any book written by Stephen Datz to be an important and enjoyable addition to your philatelic library. I have well thumbed 1986, 1996/97, and 2000 editions of his Errors Catalogue in my stamp room... read full review
