Like you I resort to internet references almost as a last resort. I grew up and cut my numismatic teeth at the close of the printed book era in the 1980s and 1990s. I like printed books, in every way, I love the look, the feel, the smell and even the touch of an old cloth bound numismatic reference book.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have owned LRBC and Van Meter for years, but sadly both sit unused and ignored on my shelf. For me there are just better references on Romans. Of course Van Meter has a lot of good information in the introductory sections, but as far as actually sitting down and looking up a coin, for me, never.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the opposite end of that scale in the Richard Plant book you mention. It is my go-to source when I come across an unknown Greek coin, it is simplicity at its very best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
