I'm not sure how this book will help the typical novice coin collector. I do think more than one kind of coin should be mentioned in this book to give a broader perspective of the coin collecting hobby. Coin Collecting for Dummies did teach me a little bit about the basics of currency collecting, but nothing that I will retain. It also completely left out Challenge Coin, medallion and token collecting, etc. I see those as coins too. Does it have to be a form of US currency to be discussed in this book? I don't think so. I believe Ron Guth was one dimensional and a little bit of a self promoter. Maybe someone more diverse could've done a better job teaching people about coin collecting.
