<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1642140, member: 19463&quot;]There are bad books, too.&nbsp; I have some boxes in the attic of books I may never again see.&nbsp; There are authors that I doubt I would buy another book from just because of problems with their other ones.&nbsp; What is nice about online material is that it is free and will teach you enough that you can skip some mistakes in hardcover.&nbsp; Sear is worth owning all of them.&nbsp; The Whitman (Klawans, I assume) I&#039;d skip.&nbsp; If you collect Septimius Severus, avoid a book by Philip Hill.&nbsp; In many cases it is just a matter of price.&nbsp; A book may be really good and worth every cent of it&#039;s original issue price but having been out of print for 20 years makes it a question of paying $250 for a $25 book.&nbsp; If you with to learn from &#039;the source&#039;, handle ten thousand coins, talk to every dealer that wants to sell you a coin and buy from the ones that strike you as willing to earn your business.&nbsp; Buy books but first learn which ones are worthy of your attention.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
