GEEZE, what a monster. It's a hardcover and is loaded with pics and discussion. It's a 1988 version. 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.

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.

Tip: Check your local library for book sales. I've picked up 2 Breen books within the past 3 years for under $5 each. I used one for a $100 trade.

$5? really? great deal. Since he only published them for like 3 years, I've only found them for at least $120. some asking for 200!

But I have looked through it, great resource. extremely comprehensive
