<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 3194160, member: 5629&quot;]That&#039;s a pretty good resource you picked up for yourself there.&nbsp; You do not even necessarily need to read it from front to back.&nbsp; Chapters 16-30 can be read on their own, really, depending on your own interests as they apply to the individual collecting focuses like gold, silver, patterns, paper money, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The first two chapters are like an introduction.&nbsp; Chapters 4-8 are what I would call a primer to numismatics.&nbsp; Chapter 9 is an overview of the economics of numismatics.&nbsp; Chapters 10-13 are a history and commentary of the numismatic market.&nbsp; Chapters 14-15 are pretty much expositions of buyer savviness and etiquette.&nbsp; And Chapters 31-34 are targeted random thoughts and general good practice in collecting (but please ignore his ramblings about experimenting especially in the chapter dealing with protecting and conserving your collection).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m surprised to see a copy in paperback.&nbsp; I thought they only came in hardcover seeing as it&#039;s over 600 pages big.&nbsp; Just be forewarned, it is not all factual information.&nbsp; There is some good information in there, but quite a bit of personal preference, ramblings and commentary.&nbsp; After reading through it, make sure you compliment what you have &quot;learned&quot; with other sources to gain a wider understanding of the different philosophies and opinions that exist out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
