Advanced Autograph Collecting

Summary: Not for "advanced" collector
Review: agree with one of your other reviewers--a lot of pages, several facsimilies, and the most useful section being the introductory forward by Stephen Raab and the description of paper, ink, etc. What is surprising is the virtual complete lack of mention and certainly no text regarding the founding fathers, signers of the declaration, signers of the constitution, famous historical figures who were not signers such as Revere, John Paul Jones, Arnold, Jay, Marshall etc. Any "advanced" collector immediately comes to grip with these names. Presidents do have a section but it is modest considering the fact that this category is the overwhelmingly most popular collecting topic for most "advanced" collectors with American history, historical authors and composers next in line.

Summary: Poor book
Review: I had to return this book for lack of substance. Lots and lots of pages but nothing helpful. If I could give it less than 1 star I would.
