<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3140348, member: 19463&quot;]Me, too, but lately books on subjects I find interesting enough to pay the increasing prices are getting harder to find.&nbsp; We get the &#039;book&#039; question here quite often but most of our answers seem to be for books published before the Internet elbowed into information exchange.&nbsp; If books die, we will be the guilty parties.&nbsp; We give away information in various formats.&nbsp; A couple decades ago, books reviewing books were sold.&nbsp; Coin magazines covered newly available books.&nbsp; Now we hope we can find a friend who has bought the book and save us from mistakes.&nbsp; I classify over half of the books in my library as not worth the current prices TO ME.&nbsp; I wish there were good books that could play the role in the lives of new collectors that I had when I started.&nbsp; We seem to recommend the old books as if there is nothing new.&nbsp; More, I wish people would review the books they have bought (serious, in depth reviews - not those online &#039;I like it and may read it soon&#039; jokes) so the rest of us would better be able to decide if we really want to spend another few hundred dollars on another book.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My reviews page doesn&#039;t get updated anymore but may be of use to some.&nbsp; Frankly, I got tired of buying books I found disappointing. </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/book.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/book.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/book.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
