I have a copy and gave my nephew a copy. I actually wish that there was more published about the subjects of coins. I think it's a neglected area.

This is a great little book. The easy to read format
includes 3-5 pages in each chapter devoted to the individual quarters in the order they were issued. Discussions range from the basis of the design to the politics of the selection process to a short dose of history associated with the major design elements.

Not necessarily a great book from the collectors view point (no discussion of relative mintages or branch mint production, or mint errors), but still a fun read and a great gift type book for anyone interested in US history, or US Coins
