Via the NBS you can meet the most active book sellers&nbsp; I assure you that you can buy these for less than the cost of printing - especially if you include the value of your time.&nbsp; Moreover, you would own a book worth owning and perhaps worth selling.&nbsp; Marking up a book lowers its value...&nbsp; unless the notes are interesting.&nbsp; Think about what it would mean to have a Red Book from Q. David Bowers&#039; own collection with his notes in it.&nbsp; I&#039;m just saying...&nbsp; a hundred years from now... you never know...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the mean time, you have the real honest-to-goodness book for your own use and enjoyment. If you can appreciate error coinage, imagine comparing editions of a standard reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>One more note:&nbsp; I was an an ANA convention on the bourse floor just walking the aisles and a guy turned around to walk away from a table and face-to-face it was <b>David Lange</b>.&nbsp; &quot;David Lange?! I have your book on Mercury Dimes!&quot; (versus: &quot;David Lange, I downloaded a free copy of your book and printed it off at home.&quot;)</p><p><br /></p><p>Authors are people, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
