<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2578801, member: 44316&quot;]I just got this book in the mail. I ordered from Kolbe and Fanning when a previous thread mentioned they were having a sale. It is more beautiful than I expected, with about four color photographs per page on each of 268 pages (there are another 20 index and preface pages). The Arab-Byzantine series is covered (not in depth, only 18 types) and the Arab-Sasanian (more deeply, 120 types) and, important for me, the Turkoman figural bronze. It seems to list (but with no discussion) all the types in Spengler and Sayles (you will still want their book for its extensive commentary) and it lists other types they did not get to in their two volumes (Spengler took ill and died before the series could be completed). </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if you don&#039;t have much interest in Islamic coins, you might like this book just because it is so beautiful and illustrates so many coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]559384[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]559385[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
