<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 46234, member: 57463&quot;]1. Good choice, books instead of coins.&nbsp; I have a recent story about that, but later.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; I recommend Wayne Sayles&#039;s multi-volume <i>Ancient Coin Collecting</i>, published by Krause and available from both Krause and Sayles.&nbsp; Vol. 1 is an introductory overview.&nbsp; </p><p>Sayles:</p><p><a href="http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=23" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=23" rel="nofollow">http://www.vcoins.com/sayles/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=23</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(Start from <a href="http://www.celator.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.celator.com" rel="nofollow">www.celator.com</a> and choose Wayne Sayles, then select books.&nbsp; You will go from the Celator, to Wayne Sayles, to VCoins.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Krause:</p><p><a href="http://www.collect.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Krause&amp;category%5Fname=&amp;product%5Fid=ACS2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collect.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Krause&amp;category%5Fname=&amp;product%5Fid=ACS2" rel="nofollow">http://www.collect.com/product.asp?catalog_name=Krause&amp;category_name=&amp;product_id=ACS2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(from Krause, to coins, to books, tp Sayles)</p><p><br /></p><p>The other major resource for ancients is not a book, but a magazine, The Celator.&nbsp; Read my review here:</p><p><a href="http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/celator.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/celator.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coin-newbies.com/articles/celator.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; Also, rather than buy books, have you been to your library?&nbsp; In addition to what is on the shelf (often thin, sorry to say) they can &quot;I.L.L.&quot; books for you, get them on Inter-Library Loan.&nbsp; If I have to renew a library book a few times (not usually possible with ILLs), I buy it, but then, I know what I am buying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
