Message:: [QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2304064, member: 44316"]In 2015 had first shot at a retired dealer's library and improved mine with some old books. I also bought newer books through the regular channels. These are not the books I use most--I already had those. But, if you go deeply into the area of any of these, you would want the volume.

Lots of ancient-coin information is on the web. Most of it is shallow. Some of it has some depth and those sites are written by people who have used good, deep, books like these.   These are not the first books I would recommend on their subjects. There are, in most collecting areas, other books that can take you from "beginner" to "intermediate."  But, if in any of those areas you want to know what is known, you won't find it on the web and you will want those books.[/QUOTE]
