Gary,
Outstanding! I've been dreaming of a book like this and can't wait to get a read. I got my first LEGO sets in the early 1960's and they didn't survive my younger siblings' abuse, alas, they are no more. So it will be great to see what memories you can revive for me. The insurance guide will be a real blessing since my insurance agent just laughed when I told him what I thought my collection was worth.
Your previous posts have always been a must read for me.
Sign me up for a CD!
