    I don't know how many of you have access to JSTOR, but several of the recent and older Spink Books have been made available for viewing and download, including "Byzantine Coins and Their Values", "Roman Coins and Their Values", and others...

    Even though I have Sear's Roman and Byzantine books and Wilkes Islamic books, I prefer digital access for easier lookup and space, so I downloaded them. It is watermarked with my IP address, so it is going to stay with me :D

    Never mind - I was able to find them by searching for one of the books and then clicking on the publisher. Thanks again for the heads up!

    Yep. That is exactly how I got the list of available books. Apparently, there are going to be more books released under JSTOR :woot:. I am hoping that the Numismatic Circular is added as that would be invaluable...

    Agreed! There has been an article from the circular that I have been trying to track down for a couple years. It would be excellent if they released those!

    I thought I'd try by searching for the first title in the OP search results list. Here's what I got. Sad. :(

    I suspect that may be the same with mine - my school has bare bones Jstor (have been out of town and unable to check...)

    There were several books I couldn't access either, namely the 2018 and 2019 Coins of England & the United Kingdom, the Cutenio and Normanby Hoard, and Catalogue de Timbres de France, but had no problem with the other books. I pretty much downloaded them all. It might be limited to the University as JSTOR locks down features based on the subscription the school bought. I would click on the publisher and run through the gambit of books to see which ones you have access to...
