It's hard to find much about check collecting, which is becoming more and more popular as checks become scarcer. Or at least it was hard until this book. It does a great job explaining the history of checks and banking as well as the ins and outs of collecting checks of historic interest. Love seeing the images of valuable checks, like the one that John Lennon wrote to Apple Records.
This book was great. I thought it was informative and interesting. I've been collecting autographs and checks in a rather haphazard way for many years depending on what I happened to come across. Now that I understand the history of checks more fully and the desirable qualities of collectible checks, I hope to make more intelligent purchases in the future.
I am a collector of old checks- a fascinating hobby once you get into it. The checks of the 1800's were works of art and pieces of history. It's a great hobby and at this time the prices are still reasonable. This book is a handy thing to get you started.
