<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2620727, member: 19463&quot;]What I see here is books are like shoes.&nbsp; They have to fit our needs.&nbsp; I have LRBC and VanMeter but never touch them any more.&nbsp; I get more good out of RIC and BMC.&nbsp; I do like Bruck not so much because of the small number of LRBC&#039;s I get without clear mintmarks but for the way he points out minor things that I overlooked.&nbsp; I&#039;m currently getting a lot of good out of Emmett&#039;s Alexandrian Coins because I&#039;m on a kick for these at the moment but I wish I had also bought a copy of Dattari-Savio last year when thought about it.&nbsp; I have many questions Emmett did not answer.&nbsp; Of course I don&#039;t know if anyone else had those questions before and put them in their book.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a hundred books I probably never will use again.&nbsp; Some were one time reads and some cover specialties I decided was not my thing.&nbsp; Some are just rotten.&nbsp; You probably will develop a similar list over your collecting life but it may be in no way similar to mine. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the reference was to added marginal notes.&nbsp; I prefer books with writing rather than just lists of coins but I&#039;m introducing a third kind of &#039;writing&#039;.&nbsp; I like text not just tables.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
