I stopped buying the paper catalogs about 5 years ago and shifted to Numismaster. As much as I despise the shortcomings of the interface and their reluctance to actually make it more functional and accessible, it's still much more usable than lugging ginormous catalogs around.
It also gets updated more frequently. Some of the volumes, like the 1601-1700 volume, may only get published every 4-5 years or so. If you only need 1 or 2 volumes of Krause, it might not be that worthwhile, but as someone who uses ALL of the volumes, it's quite cost-efficient.
Plus, I have access to it out on the road without carrying 40+ pounds of paper catalogs.
I get the "All Access" package, which gets you access to the following:
1. World Coins 1601-1700
2. World Coins 1701-1800
3. World Coins 1801-1900
4. World Coins 1901-2000
5. World Coins 2001-
6. Unusual World Coins
7. Canadian Coins
Don't subscribe via the Numismaster page though. That rate is $109.95 per year, which is insanely expensive. You'd be better off buying the paper books.
Instead, you want to buy a subscription to the "Numismaster VIP Club":
http://www.shopnumismaster.com/numi...ter-vip-club
For $39.98 per year you get the All-Access guide subscription, plus digital AND PRINT subscriptions to Numismatic News, plus 10% off all ShopNumismaster orders.
For someone who has interest in both U.S. and World coins, it's a great deal.
Right now, use coupon code REDTAG10NM for 10% off the price (offsets the sales tax).
You can buy subsequent and multiple quantities to extend both your Numismaster and Numismatic News subscriptions.
IMO for $40 per year, it's a no-brainer.
