I agree about the price. They are sure pricing the book right! If I were in charge, I'd figure pattern collectors were well-heeled and so I'd set the price at much more than $29.95.
I saw a proof of the cover (dustjacket?) this weekend at the TNA show. Very attractive although I only got a glance of the cover coin (perhaps one of the 1873 Patterns...the one without a seated figure). Nice to have this since the redbook will only be listing highlights and the Pollack book is a bit pricey even for a coin book.

Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft while in fact he has had only one year of experience... twenty times.
I expect that pattern coinage will be the latest series to show a whirlwind increse in price, and this book will only help matters-----------------BigE
Front cover is a large picture of a Bickford $10 (J-1373). Back cover is obverse and reverse of each of the following: Schoolgirl Dollar (J-1608), Shield Earring Dollar (J-1702), J-1776 (Indian $20), Metric Double Eagle (J-1643) and J-11 (1792 Disme).
