This book is an essential price guide and listing of all cards from Magic: the Gathering. There is a brief history to each set of cards along with stand out cards and pictures of those cards. Any collector of this amazing trading card game would keep this as a handy reference to his or her collection just for the prices of the cards alone. I also learned information about each set that I have previously not known, making this unique collection of card information valuable. Also, information about sets I was unaware of made me want to browse through my own collection. The print is small, but easy to read, making the book a good size to toss in a book bag for reference when trading cards with other players.
