<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3523194, member: 90666&quot;]Ah I stand totally corrected and apologise for assuming these were bootlegs. $45 for an approved pdf and/or permission to copy sounds reasonable but £63 for the physical book is a screaming bargain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve always been close to the print and publishing part of the coin business. I recall 15 years ago routinely sending emails to friends at Spink regarding digital (then DVD) scans of their books which eBay sellers would list always on a Friday night for 48 hours so it was sold before their office reopened on Monday and they could complain. Then they adapted and started dealing with the bootlegs on Saturday and Sunday mornings. It was cannibalising their sales of standard works such as RIC new editions. Glad to see there&#039;s now means to do this legit. Once again I apologize for my mis statements.</p><p><br /></p><p>This weekend I spent in the library of Simon Bendell. It&#039;s a joy to visit the library of any great numismatist. numismatic libraries are all echoes of each other. They rhyme. There&#039;s inevitable commality but also always key and surprising differences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
