<p>[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 1599727, member: 21015"]I'm hoping that you find out soon, that as with most things in life, it is better to be more prepared than necessary, and maybe have more knowledge than necessary. Rare books and reference material are like rare coins. Buy what you can now to start getting the information that you need, and when the copy you want becomes available buy it and "upgrade". Many of the earlier reference books are rare because they are out of print. Who knows if they were printed to demand at the time. Maybe demand for coin books isn't all that great. Just because we like coins, doesn't mean that publishers feel the need to cater to us. Be patient. And while you wait, I see you are an ANA member. They do have a library that you can check out books through the mail. Maybe you should find out which one works best for you before you buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
