1: Great little read for collector or novice
The other reviews have covered all of the important facts. Jim Noles book is a great little read! At 3-5 pages per quarter it provides an insight into the design & approval process, discusses some of the alternatives that were rejected and occasionally dives into a little history and politics. In all a wonderful set of vignettes that covers one of the most successful coin programs ever!

2: Required reading for school kids
This was a fantastic book that should be required reading for all students. It gave a quick, 5 page, history of the quarter, that most people would never have known. I am giving this to all my grandkids for Christmas. The research the author did was incredible.

3: A Pocketful of History
This is an interesting and informative book for anyone who is collecting the State quarters. It is light and well-written, providing history and anecdotes on each of the states and explains how the various designs were chosen. I have put it with my collection of state quarters and will give it to my grandson when the collection is complete - later this year.

4: Pocketful of History - fun book
I got the book for my husband who is collecting the quarters and it has added some nice bits to his knowledge of the idea, execution and history of the program. As well, it has contributed to his knowledge on how each state decided on its design. There are a couple of incorrect facts (minor) but all, in all, a great book to give someone who has an interest in the state quarter program.

5: pocketful of history
this is an outstanding book; the perfect companion to any state quarter
collection. although collectors would've liked to see more details like
issue dates and quantities minted.
