    By Jamie Newbold. Foreword by Michelle Nolan.

    A childhood comic book fan turned comic book retailer, the author soon discovered the prevalence of scams in the world of comics collecting. This book is his tutorial on how to collect wisely and reduce risks. Drawing on skills learned from 20 years with the San Diego Police Department and as a Comic-Con attendee since 1970, he covers in detail the history and culture of collecting comic books and describes the pitfalls, including common deceptions of grading, pricing, as well as theft, and mail and insurance fraud.

    Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 270 pages, Text (with B&W Photos and Illustrations).

    Cover price $29.95.
