I have about six coins that would be in the book but do not have a driving interest to buy more at the prices they now bring so I doubt I will buy many more. </p><p><br /></p><p>A friend of mine, Brian Kritt, just released his third book published by CNG. I bought his first one and thought it was lovely and informative on coins I don't collect. I skipped the second because it covered coins I might feel lucky to even see, let alone own. I have not seen the third but Brian is thorough to a fault so I'm not hopeful he would write something down on my level. All three of his books total $120 so I should buy a copy of the other two just to support his effort. I have enough books now that I will never read (again in some cases). There are hundreds of books that either are over my head or so simple I could have written them. I have trouble finding the mid ground.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
