<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 579294, member: 4230&quot;]the book, &#039;Encyclopedia &amp; Catalog of Egyptian Money, The Egyptian Banknote&#039; was a book i really wanted to get since i first stumbled upon it on the IBNS website when it won book of the year in 2005. There have been a lot of super cool books that have won the award for best of the year by the INBS. To see other winning entries, just click <a href="http://www.theibns.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theibns.org/" rel="nofollow"> here </a>. Once on the main page, on the menu to the left, about 6 links from the top, click &#039;IBNS Book of the Year&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ever since coming across that list, i have been trying to track down a copy of the book to buy. It has not been an easy search! The 2 authors of the book are INBS members, so I got the bright idea yesterday to try and use the IBNS member directory to try to email them about obtaining a copy of the book. Last night i got an email back from one of the authors about the book. He did have copies avalable, and after promt payment, i should recive the book in a couple weeks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The 2 books will become very cool additions to my growing refferance library. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another book i would really love to find, as it ismore art then book... is a book titled &#039;Al-Bank, Al-Ahli, Al-Misri 1898-1998 (National Bank of Egypt)&#039;. I have seen websites that have talked about the book and describe it, but i cannot find a single place that sells it. It possible the sites thatsell it are not in english too. I will continued to look - someday i might get lucky</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the main reasons for this post, aside from bragging about my new book, is to point out the other books on the IBNS list. Aside fromeach book being exceptional in its own way, if you look down the list at all the winning entries, you will possibly see what i saw - that alot of the book are books that are specific to a particular country. Syria, Taiwan, Greece, South Africa, and even the isle of Man to name a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are a world banknote collector, and have found that the Krause publications do not always have enough information ... take a quick look at the INBS website ... we all know there are books out there that go into greater detail about a particular country, but we might not know what the book is or where to buy it .... the one you are looking for might be listed at IBNS <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> once you have the name of the book... all you have to do is find a place to buy it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
