Is it a good book? For example does it explain all the various cards in the 52 Topps set (for example the gray cards and the high number series)?

I never read the book, but info on the grey back 52 series and the hi#s is here on the net if you use the search feature. Hi#s weren't a big seller and came out late in the season and Topps dumped a ton of them. The grey stock series is thought to have been printed/distributed in Canada, and I know my brother got 52hi#s in 53 Topps packs in Goderich Ontario in 53. Grey backs are currently running close to a grand each and Hi#s in high grade are through the roof. Dave.

I read it and it provided good information about why Bowman went belly-up. Its a quick read
