... our club library; "Harvey's Guide to Collecting Gaming Checks and Chips" by Howard Herz, which fully illustrates terms and deffinitions, showing mold designs; chip inserts and how to define them along with inlay designs and sizes. The work further describes Crest and Seal, Metal Inlay and Plastic Injection Molded chips; chips w/ Metal Inlays, Plastic Molded Slug Core chips and Bud Jones roulette chip styles... along w/ a standard guide for describing chips, fully, in one short line and all fully illustrated. A huge section of the book (over 55 pages) are reproduced distributor's catalog pages from all the major distributors such as BC Wills, TR King and Mason, many exhibiting full-sized halftones. It's an excellent place for those who are just joining the hobby to fully understand the lingo spoken by most well-read chippers. I refer to this work, constantly.
