I have zero interest in Liberty and Shield nickels, but I just bought the QDB book on them
Whitman has a good racket going. I like the books that QDB writes, and the collector in me wants to have the complete set of books in the Whitman Redbook series. I just literally got back from a walk to Barnes & Noble (I am in the nation's capital right now), and I had to buy this book. Like the Whitman Proof Set book that I bought, I probably won't break the binding on this book. At $17 a pop, the Whitman people should keep pumping out books so people like me keep buying, even if they have no interest. Has anyone read this book?

You bought a book on them, so your interest is now much higher than zero.

I have the Double Eagle book and I have 2 of those, have the Type book and have 1/2 of that set.....
So I should probably get the proof set and this book as well.....
The books are all interesting reads, I have the red book currency book to for some reason, and I have never bought a note ever.....

But I may be biased - I was a major contributor to the shield nickel variety section. Didn't contribute to the historical stuff though.

We are lucky to have Howard on CU as a Shield Nickel expert.

Yep. In fact, I'd be willing to wager that there's nothing like it, anywhere.
