Collectors have it so easy today with the Internet.
In our day we had to either go to the Library (I know I did back in the mid '60's) or buy the books (I didn't know about Coin World back then) to learn.
One of the first books I loaned from the Library back then was Grover C. Criswell, Jr.'s "North American Currency", and a few years before he died I was able to purchase a "used" edition signed by him that welcomed me in collecting Obsolete Currency.
I don't remember the price for the book but know it was a good deal as I purchased quite a bit of his Broken-Bank and Southern Currency from his sales catalog so long ago.
