My Mom surprised me by bringing home this book from a run to the library. I was astounded! She thought that I might be interested in it, and interested I was! I have always wanted to read this book, but I soon found that it is a DENSE book! The 655 2-Column 11 Font pages not only have plenty of words, but there is enough information in there for a 2000 2-Column 11 Font page book!! I am a fast reader, but for the first fifteen chapters, I could only fit 10 pages in an hour, and by then I was starting to feel lightheaded from all the information I was acquiring! Another part is that it is written by Q. David Bowers! 

For 16 months I have bought and sold coins and eBay, with successes and failures, and fees, fees, fees. It it hard to make a gain with over 13% fees, so I had a lot of trouble making gains.
