I have enjoyed my copy of this book, finding it particularly helpful in typing points, though not as much so in valuing. In response to the kind reader from Mass., all the point hunters I know, myself included, only hunt sites that are already culturally & historically ruined (i.e. plowed fields), with express permission of the private landowner. We don't go looking for burial mounds,etc. With regards to points being a non-renewable resource, true. BUT, I know of several fields that have been hunted for easily 100 years, and still produce points with each plowing. Many sites were in use as camp or village sites for literally thousands of years. I respectfully suggest that the kind reader turn attention more to construction sites and new road projects when looking for where true historical sites are being desecrated and ignored. Often, these sites are "overlooked" to avoid having projects put on extended (read here, expensive years) hold while the site is thoroughly researched. Happy Hunting!
Finally a thorough VISUAL guide to arrowheads!!!

Great book! Many, many pictures from all regions including the NE. The best book I've found for a vast array of artifacts, many styles, examples etc. A great help for the novice collector! Many great ads for arrowhead sites on the web as well. Finally a visual guide to "see" actual pieces not just sketches!
I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THE NEW REGIONALIZED FORMAT.
