The Urban Treasure Hunter: A Practical Handbook for Beginners 2007-12-27 17:08:00 From Publishers WeeklyTompkins Square Park, in New York City's East Village, has produced coin recoveries dating back to the 1830s. A construction site in Philadelphia recently yielded ceramic perfume containers and embossed pipe bowls from the 1860s. "Urban treasure hunter" Chaplan explains how to find, unearth and identify valuable artifacts like these in this how-to manual. He provides information on dealing with curious onlookers and fitting into a neighborhood (in "upscale" areas, dress like a jogger; in "tough areas," wear camouflage items and worn jeans), covers legal issues, provides a surprisingly scholarly and in-depth lesson in archeology and details how and where to search for and clean old coins, bottles and historical and prehistoric artifacts (he also gives tips on how to cash in on this hobby). Chaplan peppers his text with quotations from fictional and real adventurers, from Sherlock Holmes to Rudyard Kipling, and includes do-it-yourself instructions for building a si ...

Vietnam Zippos: American Soldiers' Engravings and Stories (1965-1973) 2007-12-27 17:05:00 We are the unwilling, led by the unqualified, doing the unnecessary for the ungrateful—from an engraving on a Vietnam-era Zippo lighter In 1965, journalist Morley Safer followed the United States Marines on a search and destroy mission into Cam Ne. When the Marines he accompanied reached the village, they ordered the civilians there to evacuate their homes—grass huts whose thatched roofs they set ablaze with Zippo lighters. Safer’s report on the event soon aired on CBS and was among the first to paint a harrowing portrait of the War in Vietnam. LBJ responded to the segment furiously, accusing Safer of having “shat on the American flag.” For the first time since World War II, American boys in uniform had been portrayed as murderers instead of liberators. Our perception of the war—and the Zippo lighter—would never be the same.But as this stunning book attests, the Zippo was far more than an instrument of death and destruction. For the American soldiers who wielded them, the ...

Shooter's Bible - 99th Edition 2007-12-27 17:04:00 Terry Sheely, The Reel News, September 2007Since 1924 more than 7 million copies of Shooter's Bible have been sold cementing the title as the world's standard firearms reference book. If you wanna know about a gun, look it up in Shooter's Bible. My gunsmithing, wildcatting, varmint popping, bullet pouring Uncle Floyd used to repeat that phrase like a Mantra. The first SB I read was dobbed with gun oil, bent pages, rips in the cover and a permanent position on the corner of my uncle's loading bench. When ever I pick up a copy of SB, I still get flashback visions of mountains of .38 Special wad-cutter bullets, coffee-cans of brass, and metal cans of assorted Hogdon and Herter gunpowders. Stoeger is now owned by Benelli which markets some of the finest firearms on the planet. To their credit, however, the Benelli folks have left intact the creditability factor that has made SB the uncompromised industry-wide reference book that it is. The 99th edition includes 200 full-color plates of ...

The Complete Peanuts 1950-1954 Boxed Set [BOX SET] 2007-12-27 17:01:00 A boxed set of the first two volumes, just in time for the holidays, designed by the Award-winning graphic novelist, Seth! Ships shrinkwrapped.The first volume, The Complete Peanuts 1950-1952, covers the first two and a quarter years of the strip (October 1950 through December 1952), and will be of particular fascination to Peanuts aficionados worldwide: Although there have been literally hundreds of Peanuts books published, many of the strips from the series' first two or three years have never been collected before—in large part because they showed a young Schulz working out the kinks in his new strip and include some characterizations and designs that are quite different from the cast we're all familiar with (Among other things, three major cast members—Schroeder, Lucy, and Linus—initially show up as infants and only "grow" into their final "mature" selves as the months go by. Even Snoopy debuts as a puppy!).The second volume, The Complete Peanuts 1953-1954, begins with Pean ...

Kovels' Antiques & Collectibles Price List 2008: The Bestselling Price Guide in America- 40th Anniversary Edition 2007-12-27 16:59:00 The Kovel's book is by far the most detailed, entertaining and informative price book I have ever owned. It helps us sellers and buyers and on line shoppers understand real-time market values. I like that it is based on ACTUAL prices. ( after all things are really only worth what someone will pay). It helped me identify things that I was unsure of with some really clear four-color photographs. The book is packed with TONS of pictures! It also is easy to find things and the Kovel's seem to have a knack to know how to organize such a large group of potential categories. Overall, this book was worth every penny in terms of showing me what things are worth and what they are. No other place I have found that can do both so well.

Golden Legacy is a lively history of a company, a line of books, the groundbreaking writers and artists who created them, the clever mavericks who marketed and sold them, and the cultural landscape that surrounded them.

Blue Book of Gun Values 2007-12-27 16:44:00 The Blue Book is the "bible" for those who deal in used firearms.Whether buying or selling, this is the place to start when setting a price to buy, sell, or bargain with respect to a particular gun. It is comprehensive and user friendly for those who do not engage in this area very often, but it can be well worth the price in terms of over- or underpricing of firearms for sell or purchase. As an added bonus, this edition honors a true American hero on the cover and inside with an interview of Joe Foss, WWII ace and Medal of Honor recipient. I highly recommend it to all dealers, collectors, and other interested persons!By John Fraser (Houston, Texas United States). BUY NOW ...

Fifty State Commemorative Quarter Folder: Deluxe Edition 1999-2008 2007-12-27 16:40:00 I have dozens of albums and folders in which I put my quarter collections. This folder is one of my favorites. It is beautiful and sturdy. Sure the multi-page albums are a lot nicer but also cost four times the price. So if you want a good looking strong folder, and do not want to spend too much money, this is the folder for you. Here are the pros and cons:PROS: 1- Whitman produces one of the most beautiful coins folders in the market. 2- Fits the entire state quarter collection including both Denver and Pennsylvania mints. 3- Coins do not touch each other. 4- Opens to display entire collection. 5- Extra information on the States such as: Statehood Date, Capital, Flower, Song and Nickname (Alaska's nickname is The Last Frontier. Pretty cool, huh?) 6- Its PriceCons: 1- Quarters holes are small and placing the quarters can be difficult. But if you use a small towel for support it will make it easier.Other than this I will recommend this folder. But if you are looking for a place to put ...

The Marvel Vault: A Museum-in-a-book With Rare Collectibles from the World of Marvel 2007-12-27 16:34:00 I bought this book and it provides a nice overview of Marvel Comics from its pulp magazine roots to its current incarnation as a multimedia giant.The reader is given glimpses of the inside of Marvel, however the main gimmick of this collection is the reproductions of various Marvel items; and this is where the disappointment lies. Some of the items like the buttons are just paper reproductions (not actual badges); the reprint of the Marvel No Prize Book is dark in color; and the reproduction of a Marvel Convention Program is so small as to be unreadable. In all cases full size reproductions could have been slid into the plastic binder pockets.Some of the ommissions are glaring. Marvel Value Stamps are reproduced and it is stated that a prize was given for a full set of stamps; but what was the prize?The binding is spiral so turn the pages slowly and you will have to settle in your mind if you want to throw out the cardboard backed inside the box or retain it for mint value.While the Ma ...
