I have the seventh edition. There are newer editions, yet they all stopped in 1964, so with a few corrections, any edition should work. The coins are easily identifiable with monochrome pictures on the front and back. Periodically, there is an explanatory paragraph. Probably due to limited space, many coins are omitted. For the most part, it is a catalog.
The information on prices is a tad dated, but it is still worth carrying with you in your search.
