I highly recommend this wonderful civil war collectors guide, not because I am featured prominently in it (I have to admit I don't mind the publicity it has provided me), but because it is really a superb reference book and price guide. Profusely illustrated, 520 well written and researched pages. It can be purchased from amazon.com.
