3.0 out of 5 stars Still the bible, but now flawed, 21 Jan 2007
By Nick Beal (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
Yes, it's in glorious colour for the first time, and while it takes a little getting used to, it is a great improvement. Unfortunately, in bringing us this "luxury", Spinks have taken their eye off the ball and fallen down with the basics. The book clearly has not been given a final proof-read, and now contains far too may errors. Pictures are not always of the coins they are supposed to be, and some values have clearly been transposed. It smacks of a rushed job. This is still the English coin collector's bible, but for me it's credibility has been compromised, and while the new colour pictures are pretty, I will still be referring back to my copy of last year's edition to check things. If you are buying for the first time, you may wish to to consider buying the (now) cheaper 2005 or 2006 edition instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best for the mature collector., 27 May 2006
By Jeff D. Thompson (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once you've past the point of just collecting dates, demoninations, and heads, this is the reference work you simply must read if you wish to become a numismatist, not just a collector or accumulator. Of course, the coins are divided into reigns, metals, and coinages (eg 1816). While this may be tricky at first, any adult familiar with the style (which is shared in the philatelic world by Gibbons)can quickly become adept at locating whichever coin they need to research.
Very well bound, handsome volume that I leave in my sitting room all the time. Plenty of accurate data on pricing, and a good summary of British auction activity--even collectors who will never spend more than five hundred quid on a coin should keep up with the market!
I may be convinced that this isn't the best book for a child, but this should be in any adult's library.

1.0 out of 5 stars EXTREMELY AWKWARD TO USE, 7 Jan 2006
This book may be the defacto standard amongst coin dealers/collectors, but I have to say I have NEVER used a coin catalogue that has been arranged in such a half ar$e way. It is completely stupid. The dates are every where.

Rather than keep each type of coin and then list the dates in order and variation of that type, they have the types and dates all over the place. It is EXTREMELY hard to follow and use and confusing, most of the time you will select the wrong coin, cos your in the wrong section. Try finding the section you need... thats another story.

AWFUL!! I dont write feedback unless its EXTREMELY GOOD or bad... this has to be the worst coin book I've used. EVER!!
