[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2395688, member: 73165"]Wouldn't this apply to books as well as magazines? Is the adage 'books before coins' now outmoded just because we have the internet? Hardly. What of all the information on the internet that's literally disappeared? Books don't disappear as easily as web sites. You won't ever get a 404 error looking things up in the index of a book. IMO books and magazines are highly undervalued these days. Maybe in a few more years, people will start realizing that having information only in online form is not ideal. Here's where I think the real value of the internet is, and why CT is so great. :) Even with a magazine like the Celator, how many articles per month are relevant to someone who collects (just picking something at random) eastern denarii of Septimus Severus? :P[/QUOTE]
