Looking For A Book on Crusader Coins

I am looking for a copy of "Coins of the Crusader States" by Alex G. Malloy, but it seems to be a tough book to find with most sellers (I'm looking at you Amazon) asking around $400 for one. I find that price far too steep for this book and was wondering if anyone has any ideas?

I know you are a resourceful lot, so thank you in advance.

It's a long shot, but you could try to borrow the book via inter-library loan. Check with your local library. You'd be surprised sometimes at the kinds of books they can get. This one might be too expensive, but ya never know.

 

I found a copy for $85.

Thanks to everyone who replied I knew I'd find what I wanted and then some by asking here and wasn't disappointed.

@Bob L. I saved that link for future reference.

@TheRed I ordered that, Thank you for the link.

 

If anyone else wishes to purchase a copy of this book, they are available from Allen Berman, the book’s editor. I believe he sells them for $80.

E-Mail sent to Mr. Berman. Thanks @ancientcoinguru

 

Allen Berman is a great guy!

 

Absolutely!

 

You are welcome @Aethelred I was lucky enough to get a copy from eBay about a year ago for $40. The seller was a thrift store that had a number of numismatic books listed. I assume it was a collector's library being disposed of.

Are you expanding your collection or do you need it for professional purposes?

 

keep an eye out for the price guide that goes with it, it's old,so not current, but gives you an idea of rarity. Not very big more of a pamphlet.

 

It is for personal use. I'd like to know more about Crusader coinages and perhaps pick up a few more coins of the period.

 

I can't think of a better reason to buy a coin book. I would also recommend East Baltic Regional Coinage 1250-1780 by John Davenport. It's more of a booklet at 100 pages but is really well illustrated and has good photos. Most importantly, it's the best resource I've found on Teutonic and Livonian Order coinage, and can be had for under $20.

 

Throw it in the review thread!

 

I've got a stack of medieval coin books I keep intending to add. I'll try and do a couple this week. Call it a personal goal.
