Collector Books - sources? recommendations?

[Wooly1]

Curious if anyone knows a good source for a picking up a copy of "the chip rack, 10th edition?

Also I am curious if there is a recommendation as to what is the "bible" of chip collecting? I am looking for something that lists values of a broad range of chips as the chip rack is strictly for Nevada chips as I understand it! Anyhoo I am a novice in the collection world and just trying to get my hands around it a bit more so any recommendations would be helpful and if you have good sources that would be great too!!!

The Official US Casino Chip Price Guide (3rd ed) by Campiglia and Wells is a good general book and the most recent publication available. You can get from ebay.

I recommend you read the "Newbie Tip of the Day" thread (by Doug Smith but posted on this board by Jim Follis), especially the one about focussing your collection on a specific area. Thise threads also contain links to various websites and lists of books.

I can't recommend enough limiting your collecting to something specific. There is just too much out there. I limit my collecting to $1 Las Vegas and Las Vegas poker rooms. Not super expensive (although I have paid well over $200 for a few individual $1 chips), not too big and not too small(about 500 individual chips so far).

Good luck.
