<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3680028, member: 19463&quot;]I have never owned volume II but had similar history with BMCRE V.&nbsp; I do have III and IV but never warmed up to them as much.&nbsp; I prefer BMCRE to RIC where they exist but the later volumes never happened so we have to make do with RIC.&nbsp; Neither BMCRE nor RIC have held up to the test of time and now are really dated in the period of my specialty (Septimius Severus) but they were good to bring me to where I am today in the hobby and help me prepare for the online information that has to a large degree replaced them in my daily life. Just as they had to stop printing ink on paper unabridged dictionaries, we have entered a time where numismatic learning is no longer just from books. I will miss looking forward to new and updated versions on paper and learn to use the online material offered by the British Museum and a thousand other resources that now augment the books we once loved (perhaps too much?).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
