No, but I can already tell that I am too poor to probably purchase any of the coins in that book. However, based on the cover picture alone, I am sure the book is well worth owning. That is some sweet eye candy on the cover.
It might well be a very good book, but, in general, auction sale catalogs provide more bang for the buck. They are written by experts, superbly illustrated, and come with real PR. For example, catalogs of NAC that feature gold coins are completely wonderful with long descriptions and pedigrees.
I have to agree with @Valentinian about auction catalogues. NAC, CNG/Triton, Harlan J Berk/Gemini, Leu, and Nomos are all great firms that are still publishing catalogues that are a treat to read. Seek them out!
For Flavians Gemini IX & X are a must. Those two sales feature a fairly large part of the eminent Flavian collector Harry Sneh's collection. The write-ups by cataloguer Curtis Clay are worth the price of admission alone.
History and Coinage of the Roman Imperators by David Sear is the standard work these days for the Late Republic and Imperatorial period. I don't have a copy of it but I've heard nothing but good things about it and I intend to pick it up soon.
This book is fantastic for anyone interested in the civil war or who specializes in the Imperators. The sections on Antony alone are worth the price.
I have not seen the book. I would have guessed this was a book sold at the museum gift shop to those attending the exhibition. I have several such souvenirs from exhibits I saw but can't say any get used or revisited. 75 coins is not a lot so I would think the value of this book would be as a coffee table decoration as much as anything.
It's really superb, maybe the best single work on ancient numismatics to appear in the past 20 years; worth whatever it costs these days.
