Welcome to the hobby. The Chip Rack is an excellent work, kept up yearly by overworked and underpaid people that would otherwise attend to their professions. Let us know you collecting interests as there are other books out there that are helpful. Go to our Club site: http://www.ccgtcc.com and then hit the "REFERENCE" link and from there scroll down to "Library." In that link you will find listed many if not all the books on chips.
