    Well, it arrived in the mail today... "In Yankee Doodle's Pocket", a book about early American colonial coinage.

    It's a lot more than just an attribution book. There's a great deal of interesting anecdotes and historical perspective. I'm really looking forward to this one.

    I gotta give my propers to m' main man Gran' Mastah Handsome Toad. Thanks for the link !

    Will's book will take a while to read. :D I think of it as a snowy day read, whenever things slow down, it's a good time to read some of it. ;) Plus, I will sometimes run across something on Ebay and wonder if it's in the book, so a hunt'n I go. :D

    Will just got back from the C4 convention in Boston and he said it was a blast. I'm hoping to be able to go next year, so I don't have to hear the stories, I can live them! :thumb:

    I have barely scratched the surface with it but winter's upon us so I expect some free time soon and it'll be me and the book, all snuggled in for a good night's read. :hammer: And for those that like to read a little before bedtime, don't get it! You'll read a little, put it down, lay your head on the pillow then get back up so you can read a little more. If you're lucky, you'll wake up in the morning with it on your lap but the odds are good, you'll still be reading when the alarm goes off. ;)
