As I'm getting back to coin collecting I'm the kind of guy I'd rather have a book in front of me over the internet any day. With that in mind I have the 2025 Red Book heading my way, but I was wondering about a book on error coins? I'm currently considering "The Comprehensive U.S. Error Coin Handbook" Is this any good?

Thanks, I was surprised that an Eisenhower wasn't an option in the list when I first filled out the info.

I'm not familiar with that volume, so I can't comment on its quality one way or the other, other than to say that, at just 82 pages, it does not appear to be very comprehensive in scope.

The Cherrypicker's Guide series is generally well-regarded and very comprehensive.

The Cherrypicker's Guide is a three volume series:

Volume I - Covers Half Cents, Cents, Two-Cent pieces, Three-Cent pieces and Nickels
Volume II - Covers Half Dimes, Dimes, Twenty-Cent pieces and Quarter Dollars
Volume III - Covers Half Dollars, Dollars and Gold coins

I don't have the latest editions, but am pleased with the prior volumes of the series in my library. I believe they are worth checking out before you make a purchase if you're looking for top-shelf error coin references.
