Book Reviews of Collector's Guide to Pocket Calculators

Book Review: Nice guide
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is a nice guide covering a lot of LED- and flourcent-display calculators from many companies that I did not even know had made calculators. Consider this guide more as a glossary than a book as each calculator has a short description with the most basic features. A nice way to find out that there might be some of your redundant calculators that may be used as trading objects. Some reviewers have expressed dissapointment to the photographs of the calculators. Do not buy this guide for the photos only but use the photos as part of the guide as the photos only serves to show the differences between the enormous amount of calculators in this excellent guide. If you just want to look at calculator photos then don't buy this guide but use the World Wide Web instead or get in touch with a calculator collector like me.
Thank you to the authors - nice guide. One could allmost wish for a similar guide covering the massive variety of programmable LCD calculators and pocket computers.
