<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3842926, member: 74968"]I have this book and recommend it wholeheartedly. Thanks for the excellent review. I prefer APA to MLA, but as you say that is a personal preference. I do not mind the style. I find that the conversational tone can draw you in to become more involved with the text. As an academic I have read far too many papers and books that were deliberately formal and yet were still poorly written. At least this one involves the use of considerable skill with the written language. Speaking as a coin geek I would have liked the size and weight of the coins pictured, but I really appreciate the detail and historical perspective given for each coin discussed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The book has a few quirks but it is an excellent read. I hope to use examples from it in an upcoming lecture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the review.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
