<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 952779, member: 19463"]Ras realized that the original was a good book but he wanted perfect. He put a lot of effort in tracking down coins he missed in the first one but he probably found more the day he sent the files to the printer. The book is over twice the size and twice the price but many coins are more expensive now so maybe $150 is not all that bad. If it were my book, I'd put in more text and fewer listings of coin types but experience proves that people don't buy education; they want to attach a catalog number to their coins. I assume the new book will have as good photos and be as well printed as the first (that was very good). Part of me would like to sell my original edition but that would be hard since I was the first person to pre-order it and he wrote a very complimentary inscription in mine which I'd hate to sell. I'm not the first this time but I'll buy one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
