[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 4361996, member: 73489"]I didn't know they published other books, I thought that was the only one. Thanks, I'll look for them. Cover is a bit "glossier" but the internal pages look about the same. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same publisher. For the $$$ I paid, I really thought it would be hardcover. It would make it easier to hold, too.:D It's a great book, just pricey. If you want a book with bigger pictures and less words, then the sister book -- published earlier -- on [B]The Coinage of ASG by the Philip Morse Collection[/B]....might be more worth it. I might get that one too just for the bigger pictures. Aside from the close-up of coins, the photos in the Burdette Saints book are just a bit bigger than those in the Akers book which is much smaller. I thought there would be full-page photos of the coins and so far (Page 167)...there aren't. But again, I think the rest of the book is so good I can live without the full-page pics and without hardcover. :D[/QUOTE]
