5 Stars Wait! What are you looking for?
That’s right. Wait just a darn minute and examine what you are looking for in an arrowhead book. Know what you are getting into. Some say that this book is the worst while others say it is the greatest. Both may be true. If you have every arrowhead book printed and every edition of those books, you might have a problem being entertained by anything. If you are a collector or seller, you might complain about the lack of fresh material or strange pricing from edition to edition. However, if you are not concerned with pricing…you will not find a better reference book as full of points as the Overstreet Guide. No other book shines a light on as many artifacts. Now, I use this for point shape reference while researching my next knapping exercise. This is my first Overstreet edition and it is 100% new material every time I pick it up.

I see only a tiny little minor gripe…Not enough color (but that is a gripe with most books). Many publishers feel that color will not move many more books. I agree, but I do like color and feel that it should be the norm these days.

All in All…a better ‘total package’ book does not exist and the Overstreet Guide is the book at the top of my collection!

4 Stars Bigger but the same.
Overstreet 10th edition of his Arrowhead book is extemely useful for identifying arrowheads from various parts of America. This should be the primary use of that book for any collector in my opinion. The color photograps are quite good as are most of the B&W photos. However, I feel Overtreet’s price values for arrowheads are a bit extreme in many cases depending upon the type of point or age of the point. I feel that it’s these overrated prices that causes some unscrupulus people to “pot-hunt” and rob mounds, graves, and archeaological sites in an attempt to find one of those over priced points to sell on eBay or at an artifact show. Don’t get me wrong, I like artifact shows but the prices there can be the same (or worse) as in Overstreet’s book. Plus one should consider where have some the nicer pieces actually come from, if they are even authentic? Any dishonest dealer can give you a good song and dance. The average collector can’t afford the inflated prices for the nicer or older points. Only the elite collectors/dealers can.

I’m also troubled by the book cover and binding in that if one uses an Overstreet Indian Arrowheads book very often it soon falls apart. For a thirty dollar book you’d think the publisher would put a more sturdy binding and cover on the books. One must be careful with Overstreets books and take care of them in order for them to last. If one does they can also become quite collectable in themselves as the first two editions of Overstreets Indian Arrowheads are going for upwards of $75.00 or more on eBay. My other gripe is there is not enough color photos of the artifacts and I would hope to see more color photos all through the book in future editions.

5 Stars Overstreet Identification and Price Guide to Indian Arrowheads 10th edition
I am not a professional arrowhead collector by any means but I enjoy learning about them and have been fortunate once in awhile to come across one. This book is excellent for the purpose of learning about the different kinds of arrowheads, lance points, knives, hand axes etc. It includes history of points. There is a choronological gallery of color points in the front, the rest of the photos are in black & white and the book is sectioned into regions to make it easier to learn what is most likely to be found in your area. For those inclined, it also includes what to look for as a collector and the estimated value of your point/s etc. I like this book!

5 Stars The Official Overstreet Identification and Price Guide to Indian Arrowheads - 10th Edition
A new update from the 7th, 8th, and 9th Editions about Native North American Points which I have in my library. By having the most recent edition (the 10th) you can compare how items have increased in value.

A host of new material, including new points, geographic area renaming, etc.

A must for the beginning and advanced collector.

1 Star Poor quality and repetitive information .
Year after year these books are published with the same poor quality binding and paper. Even more disappointing is the same pictures and descriptions are reprinted in each volume. It appears that a variant point or two are added to “justify” a new printing. Don’t waste your money. It’s 98 percent old and 2 percent “new”.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star WORTH A LOOK ONLY FOR BURL IVES.
This poorly made production features Clint Walker as Dan Baker, a homesteader in 1876 Utah who refuses to join a local vigilante organization, led by the town dry goods grocer (Alan Young), and the resultant effects his independent actions have upon his son Billy (Lee H. Montgomery). Ancillary plots involve Billy’s nurturing of a wounded fledgling hawk, abandoned from the nest, and the boy’s friendship with Mr. McGraw (Burl Ives), a recluse whose vocation is the preparation of damaged wildlife for their return to freedom. It is not possible to include a kind word about the direction, screenplay and editing, as all are at levels which might, at best, approach that of student-made cinema. The acting is wooden, due largely to the rambling script and weak direction, with Montgomery embarrassingly inept, and only Ives rises above his shrunken material, giving some meaning to his scenes. Although there is precious little to like about this film, the scenery is remarkably beautiful, as the production was located within two of Utah’s National Forest regions.

4 Stars You’ll never forget
When a twelve year old boy (Lee Montgomery) finds an injured hawk, he takes it to a recluse living in the hills, having heard the fellow was good with animals. The two become friends, together train the bird, but when it attacks a bully fighting our young hero, a group of local vigilantees decide to take it out on the old man, always considered him strange. Might the boy and his father rescue their elderly friend before the mob lynches him? A good, solid drama that well addresses issues which are sadly still with humanity today.
