    That book gets put out when there is little to no need but the Cherrypickers’ Guide 6th Edition Volume 2 just never happens year after year. :(

    Wouldn't sales determine the books they put out?

    I got mine a couple weeks ago. The binding print doesn't match the previous 5 editions. The 1st edition binding is completely different. Editions 2-6 bindings all look the same, except for the coin pictured. The 7th edition comes out and looks out of place in a row of Mega Reds.

    I received mine just over a week ago....I do not get one each year, but this one is thinner than the first edition. Have already used it a couple of times. Used the previous one countless times over the last six years. Cheers, RickO

    I didn't find those minor differences annoying in the least.

    It's a book I would buy once if I wanted it but not more. I wouldn't buy it for the price info either.

    I hate it when stuff like that happens.

    I only lost sleep for a couple nights. I do like the fact they used lightweight paper to cut down on some of the bulk. That may help keep the book together better. While thumbing through the appendices, I noticed the So-Called Dollar section was limited to just 1876. Usually, that appendix is a sampling of all the SCDs. A lot of those 1876 SCDs are R7-R9 coins. There were also quite a few appendices dedicated to dollar coins, that I have yet to read. More references on coins is a good thing.
