<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2726427, member: 44316"]Yes, that is a very good book, with many enlarged photographs and lots of information. It comes in two editions, a thick first one and a thinner second one. I have both and could not figure out why they deleted so much and removed so many great pictures from the first edition to make the second much less pleasing. Instead of 695 photos and 310 pages in the first (The World of Numismatics, 1972), the second (Seaby, 1990) has 439 photos and 182 pages.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the only book I recall that is worse in the second edition than the first.
