Looks like it will be a valuable resource, NOT cheap about $130 for a used copy. Mines ex-library but in good shape, even has the dust jacket/cover. I've got the Whitman colonials book coming next week sometime. Anybody needs anything looked up, give me a holler. Report this Post to the Staff

oimcoins Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/11/2010 3:48 pm I believe that was the first book I purchased. It is a very valuable resource but as some will say, "Breen was wrong". It would be great if someone would update his book, as like you said, 1988 is the Copyright Date. Certain things he said was rare is not and stuff like that. But still a great book and I will probably never sell mine. Report this Post to the Staff
