<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 319589, member: 4552&quot;]A little overstated. Actually grossly overstated. </p><p>What I was indicating is only that excessive buying of books on coins is in my opinion a little outdated. There is way to much information now available on the internet. And you don&#039;t need an entire book to look up just one type of coin. Then again the information is&nbsp; completely up to date on the internet and in many books sometimes outdated. For example the prices in the famous Red Book now outdated by over almost a year. . You could have an entire library on&nbsp; coins and spend many hours looking up something about a Lincoln Cent of just go to <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.coppercoins.com</a> and find out many, many times more info on that particular item. Also, with that type of web site you&nbsp; can ask questions about that item. </p><p>I do agree books are educational and it is rather soothing to sit down and browse through them but for complete, accurate, up to date information, the internet is far superior to any publication. For example this forum. Even the subject of what book to buy, where to buy it, how much to pay for it, etc. is right here on this web site. Could never find that in any book. This forum and many like it are the future. </p><p>Sorry if I affended book collectors on coins but I too have numerous books on many subjects. For example being a chem teacher in college I too have substantial library on Chemistry but when requiring up to date, complete, detailed information the internet can&#039;t be beat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
