Bring your collections into the 21st century! This book/CD-ROM package gives you everything you need to create and manage coin and stamp collections using your IBM PC; even if you've never used a computer before.
The 270-page book provides a practical introduction to collecting, including illustrated guidelines for grading and valuing coins and stamps, an overview of collecting equipment, and step-by-step instructions on how to use the included software to catalog collections.
The CD-ROM gives you Windows and DOS versions of Organize! Your Collection cataloging software. These powerful programs let you build searchable, sortable databases of your stamps and coins. You can easily calculate values, print reports, build "want" lists, and more. The Windows version (compatible with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95) allows collectors to attach sounds and graphics to every entry. More than 100 coin and stamp graphics files are included on the CD to help you get started.
The Coin and Stamp Collectors' Electronic Album is for casual and serious collectors who own IBM-compatible personal computers. New collectors will learn the do's and don'ts of collecting as they master their PC. Experienced collectors will appreciate the electronic tools and time-saving tips offered by this package, including a directory of Internet and World Wide Web sites, resources, and organizations where they can swap information with other numismatists and philatelists. --
Book DescriptionI couldn't find "sink, kitchen" in the 16-page index for Coin and Stamp Collectors' Electronic Album, but that's about all that's missing from this comprehensive book. --

Reader Reviews
The book does contain a lot of information about both coins and stamps. It gets 3 stars. However ... The package that comes with this book includes a CD-ROM and a floppy disk. According to the Errata, the disk is supposed to be a version of the software that has not expired. For me, neither worked! I had to go to their web site to download a Windows 98 version that worked. That sure was a nuisance. This part gets only 1 star! Also, note - the software that accompanies this book is SHAREWARE. It does cost $ to get the registered version.
