New this summer is The Complete Guide to Check Collecting, produced by Prospect Park Media for publisher Michael Reynard. This new title, the only book in the nation on the subject, is a comprehensive, illustrated resource for collectors of bank checks, autographs, revenue stamps, and paper ephemera. The author/publisher makes it clear why check collecting has been increasing in popularity over the last decade, as financial transactions become more digital and check writing becomes less common. Reynard explains the history of how checks came to be used and accepted as financial instruments, reviews the types of checks and what makes them collectible and valuable, shares tips on buying, selling, storing and displaying collections, and provides resources for novice and experienced collectors alike.

Prospect Park and its trade distributor, SCB Distributors, is distributing the book. Book retailers can contact SCB here; consumers who’d like to buy the book directly from us can click here.
