<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1811823, member: 26302&quot;]As a further argument for paper books, once its in a permanent book format you have the ability to read critiques of them. Yes, many numismatic books are not terribly good. However, if you inform yourself you can learn from people smarter than I which books are wonderful, and which are not worth reading. </p><p><br /></p><p>Where is that type of critical feedback on the internet? Truly any idiot can write anything he wishes online, and a lot of people will believe him. Even though Wikipedia has a lot of good entries, I have attempted to correct quite a few very bad and misleading entries there myself, only to have others who &quot;really think they are right&quot; go back and wipe out my corrections of their errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you wish to read and believe bad, error filled information, go ahead and believe everything you read on the internet. If you wish to have information you can rely on, you have to pay for that privilege.&nbsp; The internet is great for sharing pictures, and finding another coin that looks like yours. However, I simply find TONS and TONS of misattributed coins online. If you do not own what they are attributing the coin to, (the book), you will never know your attribution is complete nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
