Rating  - Underaverage
This book is just way too broad to be of much help to a serious collector. However, if you need a cheap, VERY quick overview of world coins, this book is OK.
Unfortunately, there are a good number of countries that do not have coins listed. I don't have a huge amount of world coins, but I was able to find only a little over half of my coins in this book.
With so many different countries' coins listed, this book can't contain very many grades of each coin.
If there is a particular foreign country that you are interested in collecting its coins, you'll want to go elsewhere for a more specific reference. This is not the book for specifics.
However, there are a few handy essays at the beginning of the book on how to buy coins, spot a bad deal, and so on. There's also some references to on-line help.
This book isn't terrible; it will give you a nice intro into a particular country's coins (if it covers that country), but for me, it's not very valuable.
Rating  - SO SO
A very good reference for the collector of world coins who knows where the coins are from, bu t a poor reference for coins in which the country is unknown to you. Also very limited in the number of countries that it covers.
Rating  - Seems comprehensive
Made the mistake from "One World" to "World Coins" and really don't regret it. The old family drawers have some foreign coins. Now I have a reference,
Rating - TRUSTWORTHY
A VERY COMPREHENSIVE,AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND,COIN BOOK FOR THE NOVICE,LIKE ME,TO THE SEASONED COIN COLLECTOR,WITH A LOT MORE THEN JUST PRICES.INFACT I CAN GRADE SOME OF MY COINS NOW,A VERY GOOD BOOK.
