    Was it any better than the 2016 redbook? Just wondering if they made it more interesting or if i should wait until 2019 before I upgrade;)

    Something on coin grading may be helpful.

    I think around here that is spelled Gold Digest.

    Bowers book on The Expert's Guide to Collecting & Investing in Rare Coins is very informative, although he sometimes sounds a bit arrogant.

    Coin World has some really good writers, but in my opinion The Numismatist writing has dropped some.

    I would urge everyone to read Coin Week on a regular basis - https://coinweek.com/

    They have a great many articles written by knowledgeable authors that cover a very wide range of topics. Some of which I've even helped write myself.

    Whilst visiting the Old Fort in Corfu Town, I purchased 3 small Visitor's Guides - all published in Athens. 1) The history of the Numismatic Museum of Athens. 2) Coins and art. 3) The coinage of Alexander the Great. - There were a few other similar booklets - maybe next time ! Prices, 3 & 3 & 2 Euros. :greedy: :greedy: :greedy:

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    The wait is over. The 2019 Red Book is shipping. WAAAAAAAY more varieties are covered, which probably means a thicker book.

    Yes, I was talking about coin books. What else do we talk about here? :meh:

    Okay, but why buy a copy every year? I don't see it changing all that much. And I've found my local library tends to stock the latest version.

    I have copies of SCWC for almost every one of the last 20 years.

    A lot of different things. You should look around the site.

    Well, considering I was posting in Coin Chat, I figured I was talking about coin books. But I have looked at other forums, and surprised at what you all talk about. I mean, c'mon, a hot dog isn't a sandwich. It's a condiment-covered piece of meat!
