<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1194837, member: 19463&quot;]Just an opinion: Please understand that my coin books take up over 20 feet of shelf space and a few boxes in the attic but I do not recommend beginners buy a lot of expensive books until they understand a need.&nbsp; The amount of online help including Wildwinds, acsearch and a hundred others has really blossomed in the last 15 years so dead tree books are not nearly as indispensable as once they were.&nbsp; I do like Wayne Sayles volume 1 overview and followup books because they are <b>not</b> catalogs but explain why you might like to collect coins.&nbsp; In time, you will want other books (want mine?) but I would not buy RIC until I had a hundred Roman coins and forsaw adding a thousand more in the next few years.&nbsp; Learn to use the online resources and discover places you want more information.&nbsp; Then buy those books.&nbsp; I only bought about a dozen in the last year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
