why are books so important when collecting rare, old whistles ??
Might seem pointless if you can look on line for free right ??
Nooooo !!!!!!
There are soooo many whistkles not covered on the net, that are pictured and discussed in the only three books written.
Besides that one can't flip through the pages back and forth as well when looking at a computer. It would seem that for study and visual impact of the variety and comparison we still need books.
Eventually the web may catch up. However there remains those pictural comparisons that Collecting Police Whistles did. The same can be said for More Whistles and evn the smaller booklet entitled Whistles has a variety not done on the web.
Martyn Gilchrist did an excellent job on those three books — that is standing the test of time. Beyond that his organizational skills is being appreciated more and more as the years turn.
Do you have yours ?? They are out of print and it is for sure that Collecting Police Whistles is not going to be reprinted !!!
