<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 758784, member: 16060&quot;]I&#039;m not knocking books, I have a some myself. But, people are going to have questions when making a decision on what they want to collect, often people still need a clarification after they read something.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Someone is thinking about collecting Barber Quarters because they think they are attractive, or for whatever reason.&nbsp; They should research, but they will probably have some questions concerning these coins before a final decision is made.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they should go out and buy a book until a definite decision is made. I also have seen many new people ask for advice on what is the best book to obtain.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they ask questions and someone knows the answer(s), but decide they don&#039;t want to share their knowledge that is their decision.&nbsp; For new members if you read what the majority of members say to them in their introduction, it is something to the effect of welcome and feel free to ask questions. I hope no new members or lurkers contemplating joining feel their questions won&#039;t be welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are people I see post here that six months or so ago asked the typical &quot;newbie&quot; questions.&nbsp; Now these same members are answering these questions for other new members. I personally get a lot of satisfaction seeing this occur.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not real sure of why we are here if it is not to learn from each other&nbsp; sharing knowledge and information.&nbsp; I mean what&#039;s the point? </p><p><br /></p><p>I have always wondered a couple of things concerning Bowers.&nbsp; Before I mention them let me state right now I own a few of his books.&nbsp;&nbsp; But, when he first made the statement about buying the book before the coin, was it prior to the day of the personal computer? The other thing is he just happens to be an author of books that people can buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
