Good pics, just not 100% accurate info.
This book has a good bit of mis-information, but it also has a lot of good pictures. Don't rely entirely that the items will be exactly what they are titled, but it is a good study to see if you can tell the difference between what is right and what is not. Also, don't rely on the price guide to still be accurate.Verified purchase: Yes
