<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4798055, member: 19463"]I will be interested in seeing what this is. My fear is that the three volume set will be too expensive for the beginner market and too cursory for the even slightly advanced collector. As I understand it, the first is basically Greek before Alexander??? He announced that the second volume would cover Hellenistic while the last will do Rome and what he calls Greek Imperials. That is a lot of ground to do justice in 500 pages per book. Leaving out a catalog of types may leave room for interesting material but the third volume covering all Roman (Imperial and Provincial) especially strikes me a quite a bit to cover in one volume. Will many people buy just one book or will more say the set is too expensive and glosses over each of their specialties. I hope to get to see the set someday. The Millennium Sear volumes took a long time to complete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
