I'm Offended

I like this book and believe at least three of you will get $.62 to $1 value out of it. I guess you will have to decide whether you will enjoy it enough to pay shipping and whether you want a wrinkly copy. In 1998 I wrote this review on my book page which few ever read so I'll copy it here:

"Collecting Greek Coins is a refreshing change from all the catalogs and price guide books that take so much room on our shelves. This paperback book is for reading not reference. Chapters tell the story of some part of the Greek world and the coins that accompanied that part of history. By giving a feel for the history, the author answers "why" the coins were as they were rather than just listing the types. After completing the geographic tour of the Greek world provided by the first thirty chapters, we are treated to a section which discusses ten possibilities for assembling thematic Greek coin collections relating to, for example, the Odyssey or Monsters on coins. The book is very readable and includes just enough maps and photos to illustrate the points made. Printing and photo quality are only fair. The same text could have been illustrated with large photos resulting in a 'coffee table' book for the Christmas trade that would have sold for many times the price. As it is, the book is full of information with legible, actual size photos. The book was remaindered about ten years ago and is now out of print. It is worth seeking out from dealers of used books."

Seriously, folks, I paid $1.98 for mine in the late 80's and liked it so much I went back and bought all they had (3, as I recall) which I resold at the coin club meetings for my cost. If I was willing to spent $1.98 in 1988, the book must have been worth something. I'm offended when a book this good goes for $.62 even in wrinkly condition. Now don't be a total fool and buy one of the $319 ones offered further down the list. It is a nice book but its not that nice!
