<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1854282, member: 41863&quot;]Hey guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>I have recently stumbled on to a great source of numismatic reference information and have been toying with the idea of trying to print off some online resources for hard copy research.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am thinking I want to maybe buy a couple of different colored 1.5&quot; - 2&quot; 3-ring binders to make some home made references on different denominations (Black for cents, Blue for nickels, red for quarters, etc). </p><p><br /></p><p>The source that sparked all of this is David Lawrence Rare Coins&#039; facebook page. They posted a link to their Complete Guide to Barber Half Dollars. This is a series that interests me so I remembered seeing a link for this guide come across my page a few weeks ago and asked to be redirected to that page for a glance at the material (didnt have time when i originally saw the post). </p><p><br /></p><p>Long story short they sent me a link to their resource page that has about 10 out of print books that i would LOVE to begin building a library with. The problem is the layout.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heres the link to the main page of resources:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/david-lawrence-rare-coins-reference-library/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/david-lawrence-rare-coins-reference-library/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/david-lawrence-rare-coins-reference-library/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As you can see they offer some very good books that I ordinarily would have to hunt down and pay for, but can print off directly from here (i was even given permission by a DLRC staffer on facebook so i assume this is an ok practice). So back to the problem of the layout, the page only lets you view one page at a time instead of downloading a PDF or bringing it up in a printable format. It will be very tedious to individually click on every page and print them out, then clicking the next page and doing the same, ad infinity, until the process is complete. I dont want to go through all of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>So does the great world of Coin Talk have some of these resources available in a .PDF format or other easily printable layout? I really dont want to print the other way I see, and I dont want the &#039;junk&#039; in the margins so I can write my own notes. I have asked to be directed to a DLRC IT person to maybe get the direct material from a PDF or something, but in the mean time I thought maybe some of you hard core researchers could possibly help a brother out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also like to ask the community if they have any e-books that are acceptable to share via peer to peer that could be made available through this thread for similar research purposes. Links to downloads or offers to send via email would be nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is a very cost efficient way to build my own library without tracking down out of print publications. For example the Franklin Half guide by Rick Tomaska is one that i really want and my LCS has a signed hard copy but since its not addressed to me that makes little difference and I would rather save the $50 asking price for another coin. As of now I can just print the same book for literally the cost of the ink and the paper to do so, which is what i would like to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, if anyone has any other material that isnt listed on DLRC I would be HIGHLY interested in seeing what you have to share. I love all type of coins but mainly focused on earlier US stuff at the moment. If I had to choose these would be my main areas of interest:</p><p><br /></p><p>Seated Coinage of all types</p><p>Barber quarters and halves</p><p>SLQ</p><p>WLH</p><p>Mercury Dimes</p><p>Early Proofs</p><p>IHCs and FE</p><p>Patterns</p><p>Peace Dollars</p><p>Franklins</p><p>Shield and Liberty Nickels</p><p><br /></p><p>At least thats a start of what I am interested in reading about......</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone help a Brotha out?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
