        Here is a preview of the book from his site:



        I thought he was a member of this site. I kind of remember discussions about the book when I first started lurking some years ago. Am I wrong?

          Now that i am back re building my collection, I am looking up something daily again. I have read every page but still reference it daily. A must have for sure. And not sure if it was printed in soft cover. I have only seen the hard back version.

                    My kid asked for it as bedtime reading the other day. He knows all about Kresge cards now.

                      Unfortunately, just found out that COTSWOLD is SOLD OUT and does not have any more of the books Available. Any other avenues for the book?

                        I was shocked they had them at all, much less at a discounted price equal to wholesale. Thanks to ws62k2 for the heads up!

                          Darn it says they're sold out now.....I bought this book five times and each time wound up giving it away to someone I knew would like it. When I went to get it again, I couldn't find one (at least not at an affordable price)!! D'oh! Oh well I was able to read through it several times and loved it, and happy to spread it around to others I knew would enjoy it
