Handbook of United States Coins 2004: The Official "Blue Book"

Summary: Wonderful book (and proof sets ARE included)
Review: Sorry LeadPedal2, but you are wrong, and I hope not too many people have been driven away from this wonderfully written, helpful, and complete book by your false statements.
This book DOES contain information on Proof and Uncirculated sets sold by the U.S. Mint, on pages 40-42.

I've been collecting both the Red and Blue books since 1993 as a nice compliment to my coin collection, and this edition maintains Yeoman and Whitman's high standards. I am very happy with this book, and highly recommend it to other coin collectors, beginners through those with much experience.

Summary: But where's the proof?
Review: This book is good for what it includes, but there is a glaring and shocking omission! There is no info on proof sets, only on some individual coins. With the introduction of state quarter sets, annual proof sets have become a hot commodity, yet this book completely overlooks the entire category!
