Title: Catalog Reading Made Interesting
Product review: As a brand-new postcard collector, I needed a reference book which is complete and interesting. Mashburn's catalog of collectible postcards is as fun as reading an old Sears catalog and as informative as an encyclopedia. The author should have offered better clarification of certain postcard types, such as "linens" (what do they feel like?) and "real photos" (are they originals without any reproductions?). Mashburn should have kept the definitions more explicit and basic for beginners, but this is a trap into which all experts fall. Overall, this is a great intro to collecting postcards. Anyone have a postmarked Titanic card which they'll sell to me for cheap?
