Okay, so this book is probably not what you're looking for if you're wanting to know about specific Christian denominations. I happened to see it was a low price, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I would encourage you to do so as well, but that's just because it has some good *general* info about the concept of denominations. The following is going to be a much better alternative if you're wanting to know a great deal about hallmarks of and differences among US denominations (great resource, great value!):

I first looked at my own faith group heritage and found a number of mistakes which are easily verifiable. The author confuses the various subgroups, combines the census numbers, has the wrong dates of their origin and misrepresnts key beliefs.
