<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24604022, member: 26430&quot;]Great posts! I love that you can look at different personal libraries on roughly similar topics but each one has a multiple great texts not included in the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I&#039;ll break this reply into a couple by topic...</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] -- beautiful set of Eastern references, there are a bunch I&#039;d love to add some day. The Mitchiner sounds fantastic! </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m curious: Have you noticed or checked if the hard copy of van&#039;t Haaff <i>Persis</i> is substantially similar to the draft CNG posted online? <a href="https://issuu.com/cngcoins/docs/catalogue_of_persis_coinage" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/cngcoins/docs/catalogue_of_persis_coinage" rel="nofollow">https://issuu.com/cngcoins/docs/catalogue_of_persis_coinage</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got Shore&#039;s <i>Ten Dragons</i>, but I&#039;d really like to have Sellwood&#039;s Parthia and Gobl&#039;s Sassanian. As a compromise, I have Sellwood et al. Sassanian...but inscribed to Gobl! Of course, all that leaves me a bit reluctant to read it too much:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1563362[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I love the unusual style of the Sellwood books -- the distinctive calligraphy/font and drawings!</p><p><br /></p><p>Plant&#039;s <i>Arabic Coins...</i> is also on my list. I have his <i>Greek Coin Types.</i> I got interested in Plant (1928-2020) when I noticed his coins for sale at Dix Noonan Webb &amp; then Naville Numismatics (where I bought a handful) and realized he had died. (I made <a href="https://conservatoricoins.com/richard-plant/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://conservatoricoins.com/richard-plant/" rel="nofollow">a blog post about his collection w/ a short bibliography</a>.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
