<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3170294, member: 19463&quot;]That is exactly what I thought until I realized that there is a solid place or both in my life.&nbsp; If I were to have to give up one of the other, I would keep photos but I am solid in the opinion that good drawings are better than the average quality photos that we are given in way too many books.&nbsp; The Tye book has excellent drawings.&nbsp; In 1999 when I was doing the plate coins for Victor Failmezger&#039;s book on late Roman coins, I believed people needed a disk full of enlargeable&nbsp; images to see small details on their computer screen.&nbsp; Instead, people decided to care nothing about fine details as long as they could carry on all business on a pocketable phone with 3&quot; screen.&nbsp; Today, we have tablets that compromise between the two.&nbsp; I believe that is also the answer regarding drawings and photos.&nbsp; Drawings would be cheaper to print in a book but photos reproduce better on computer screens which allow enlargement.&nbsp; I would love to see a website with good photos of the 1248 coin types in the Tye book but I would not see a doubling of the price of the book to see it reproduced with so many photos.&nbsp; There is room for both systems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
