<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 30718, member: 283&quot;]Neither book is truly `adequate&#039; in my opinion, and it all depends how your interest takes you as to which will be the better longer term investment (if not both). Feuardent is a fairly good listing with legends used but little background...and in French. Mitchiner is in English and gives a better perspective on the subject.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started off armed only with a hard back sales catalogue produced by Victor Gadoury entitled `Jetons&#039; and dated 1986 (it often appears on ebay for around $10 or so as does a later one. Both are worth their weight in gold IMHO). That gave me a broad (but imperfect) outline of the scope of the subject and it illustrates many pieces. I became hooked on just getting examples that matched those in that catalogue!...all the while the more I was getting into the subject the more the price of the books became justifiable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another exceptionally good resource on the subject of jetons is :</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cgb.fr/boutique/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cgb.fr/boutique/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cgb.fr/boutique/index.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>look for `jetons&#039; on the left column of that page. It will lead you to some 15 or so catalogues of jetons they have been involved with selling. bear in mind that prices are *much* higher than you will see on ebay. After all, Paris is at the heart of that particular market.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few hours sojourn through these online catalogues will either whet your appetite even more....... or kill it stone dead. ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
