<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1668363, member: 19463"]At the bottom of the page under Similar Threads I saw my old post when ERIC II came out.

It is hard to review a completely new work of such size without the time to become comfortable with the way it worked. I admit that then I was thoroughly disgusted with the omission of some of my favorite coins (Anonymous Pagans in particular) and never warmed up to the plates showing only one side of the coins but I tried to be fair. I have not used ERIC II since that review (my copy was not bound which made it harder to flip through - perhaps that made it harder to use) but I still wonder if others found it became easy with practice and became comfortable with the way it was organized. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've always been wrong when it comes to publishing.
