<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3541811, member: 57463&quot;]I was kind of surprised at the small array of numismatic titles given your deep knowledge.

I still have 16 feet five shelves high and I have been getting rid of books for the last 10 years.

The list goes on...&nbsp; I mention it because I expect that we could all fill CT with Title, Author, Publisher lists.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if it is the pursuit of knowledge alone or the extent to which the collector&#039;s ethic compels us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
