The U.S. Civil War Store Cards- 4th edition (SC4) committee is proud to announce that the 4th edition of this great work will soon be available. As of this writing, the book is at the printers and is now available for pre-sale. We expect to take delivery in August.
The book committee consisted of Dave Schenkman, Tim Webb, Mark Gatcha, Larry Dziubek, Roger Lalich, Bill Luitje and myself. Steve Hayden helped with rarity changes and also some technical points. Jen Meers did an excellent job on layout and the book looks very professional. This book is the product of a lot of hard work and gathering of information for the last ten years and I am very proud of it.
Building upon the 3rd edition, this new edition features nearly 900 changes since publication of the 3rd edition, including new merchants, new listings, new or improved photos of many tokens, rarity changes, and corrections. This is a must have for all Civil War token collectors.
The 4th edition is scheduled to be 676 pages and retails for $100. It is available to CWTS members at $85 + shipping (yes, no price increase over SC3 that was published 10 years ago)! It is also available to dealers in cases of 6 books for $390 plus shipping (again, no price increase).
