What are the chances? The day the books shipped from Oxford this coin appeared on the market. It is a unique and unpublished variety (so NOT in...
There is an e-book available from the publisher for only 19GBP. You can order that right from the archaeopress website. They also have softcover...
Thanks for the feedback. The reception here on CT has been great and I appreciate that a lot. I have the cover coin and a few other plates:...
Who are the experts at Wings? If it is just some bozo with no experience in ancients then why would anyone pay for that? Don't get me wrong, the...
I am a librarian lol. At least it is your own copy. Rare book dealers 100 years from now will really hate you. They hate librarians too since...
