<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1786802, member: 19463&quot;]I might suggest volume 2 out of 5 planned may not be the way to break into a new (to you) series although this is a low price compared to others I have found. I&#039;m just not quite that interested in the series. There are also other SNS editions listing coins in other museums (the OP book is three listed museums and larger than the others). I believe there is even one listing only coins in Uzbekistan that are not in the three listed museums including copies by Huns etc. that some here might find really interesting. Again, I&#039;m just not ready to buy every book on Sasanian that I would if I were the CNG librarian, for example.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The book I&#039;d like to see before I buy is more expensive and won&#039;t have as many Sasanian coins but claims to cover a lot more of the general area which would probably be more up my alley. However, I have not seen a critical review of the book that would answer my $175 question. Don&#039;t buy it based on my mention but if you see one, look at it for me and tell me what you see. I don&#039;t think book publishers work very hard at promoting their books to those of us who only want books that fit our needs. I have bought books that strike me as a waste of money and books that really made me glad I took the risk. Any clue as to which category a new release falls in is really hard to find unless you count the blurb written by the publisher telling what the book is but not how successful it is at being just what we all have been hoping someone would publish.</p><p><a href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=201395" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=201395" rel="nofollow">http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=201395</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
