Mr. Zielinski's criticisms of the Redbook would have been better directed, in private, directly to the Redbook's editors rather than being published, with what appears to be childish glee, in a third-party forum. I thank you for giving Dennis Tucker an opportunity to respond to them.
Of course the Redbook has errors in it. Any book with that much information will have some errors in it. Type happens.
I have been (quietly) offering corrections, suggestions and other input to the Redbook since the days when I worked for Coin World in the mid-1970's. I would hope that anybody else with the same would do so as well, but with discretion."
I have to agree. I almost titled that E-Sylum item a Book Review, but a review highlighting only errors is rather one-sided. Like most reviewers I do make a point to note errors I find when reading a book, but when time allows I always forward a draft to the author or publisher before publishing the review.
