<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3524704, member: 90666&quot;]Banti is a resource aimed at those interested in minor varieties such as symbols, and at provenance hunters like myself. The photos within are dependant of the quality of the original catalogues which are often poor. But they are not much worse than the original sources. For me, Banti is my #3 consulted book after Crawford and RBW. It is where I find at least half my provenances. There&#039;s no alternative. Those who need Banti have to have it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have you received the book? Perhaps you have an answer to Doug&#039;s question about the extra pages - whether the pages are photographic copies or if the text has been run over extra pages to allow for the smaller page sizes. I&#039;m not surprised about photo quality for a £63 book. Collectors seek out and pay a premium for the terrific plates in the original 1974, and still will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
