<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3496292, member: 19463"]Until recently I was only able to accept RIC as one book in ten volumes with some reservations because they covered the whole subject and volumes started where the previous one left off. Lately, however, it is fashionable to update one part of a volume but not the other meaning you can't be rid of the outdated volume when you buy the new one. The books have always been separate works with their own style but now it seems they should be titled "Flavian Imperial Coins" rather than recalling the old book. Worst to my mind is the RIC V online catalog which would make a humongous printed volume that still makes you keep the old part two. It is hard to find anything that is true for RIC as a whole. Adding new updates to parts helps nothing. Having said how much I dislike the concept of part updates I should never be allowed to say, "Where is RIC IV part 1?"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
