The Chip Rack is truly a must-have for collectors of Nevada casino chips. The amount of information it contains is amazing, and the historical and cross-reference information in Part II is especially helpful. I've had my copy of the 10th edition since it was released and use it on a daily basis.

Education is power, especially in collecting. We're extremely lucky to have guides such as The Chip Rack and Campiglia & Wells' new book, as well as books that cover other specialty areas available to us at such reasonable prices.

New collectors would be well-advised to follow Atlantic City chip guide author and longtime collector Archie Black's words and "buy the book before you buy the chip". A few dollars invested in a guide to your favorite area of collecting can save lots of dollars and frustration in the future.
