<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1920160, member: 41863"]Im not looking for Amazons best seller award.

Well let me ask you this. Since numismatic books are rarely updated and revised, wouldnt you like to see a book with relevant information be for sale for $100, instead of trying to track down a book that is outdated,, albeit with good information, but still outdated and costly (double or more of what the new book costs). Or would you rather buy the book that contains ALL of the relevant and pertinent information and also encompasses more than just one type or denomination? </p><p><br /></p><p>Lets go back to Barbers.

So now, I come along with my comprehensive encyclopedia that has the info that D. Lawrence used (along with other accepted experts) except I have used their research, incorporated my own, and now encompassed all of Barbers designs/denominations into one book. That is available now, today, fresh hot off the press for 1/3 of what it would take to acquire a library of old reference books on each denomination as designed by Barber. That is my goal, just not with the Barber series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
