REVIEW: Standard Knife Collector's Guide: big, wide-ranging, and inexpensive. These factors have made this title one of the three or four most popular books in the knife business. With almost a hundred pages added to this edition, the new page count comes to nearly 800. The heart of this book is the extensive listing of major knife companies and brands, which provides many illustrated examples that apply the authors "RBR" system for determining a value of almost any brand of folding knife. -Knife World

Average for the general knife novice. It answers some questions but do not expect it to be a comprehensive index for knife collecting.
This series of books have loads of info, useful to both the newbie or seasoned collector, great deal and well worth the money..
Good reference. A little dated somewha tnarrow in focus but, knives are so broad that no single book can cover everything.
Covers both old and new items.
