High quality guide - unbeatable price! - Rated
The guide gives an introduction to banknote grading using a good system to help a beginner understand how this works. It very usefully includes a cross reference list of comparative catalogue numbers to properly identify a particular banknote of interest. It is brilliant, too, that a list of the most established and respected UK dealers is available if one would wish to purchase a banknote; although, I find that cheaper banknotes in poorer grades may be purchased from popular online-auction sites if desired.

I find the guide very accessible, clear and concise containing only essential information. I find it invaluable to use in all cases of quick reference in finding pricing information quickly. The advantage of concise information is that it does not confuse the beginner.

What an improvement! - Rated
This new 2006 version is so much better than the previous 2004 edition! The images are clearer, the book is perfect bound with a lovely thick cover and slightly glossy pages, and it really does feel better put together than the last. Still under a Fiver too, which surprises me!

The editorial content has also been updated a bit, the font is new and much more readable. The prices have all been amended and this book will, I'm sure, prove handy to keep on my desk or in a large pocket in case I feel the need to buy a banknote!

Well done to the new author, and well done to Rotographic for drastically improving the quality of their recent publications.
