Dr. Peter D. Jones M.D. MBA has released today all of his books to the Newman Numismatic Portal.
Some fantastic titles and prolific work Dr. Jones has put out. You can read my short pre-review of one of his early coin books here:
http://goccf.com/t/382003All of his books would cost several hundred dollars if not closer to a thousand or more, to purchase them if you ordered them through his publisher. I have several of them in my own library already and they are a joy to use for reference as well as just to enjoy as a read. Now that anyone can download or read them online is amazing and should not be missed.

Quote:
From the Foreword, by John Kraljievch:
"There aren't many folks willing to put in the work to get to a Jedi-level appreciation of the interconnections that our numismatic collectibles imply to a novice and prove to an expert. Dr. Peter Jones always has. He takes notes like a student intent on an A and asks questions with the rapid-fire urgency of a would-be Plato encountering a just-poisoned Socrates. Every answer creates a follow-up. Every follow-up induces a healthy nod. And all those nods, and the silent thoughts that accompanied them, have manifested in the work in front of you now."
Quality of the photos is excellent, and the research is extensive in all of his writings. Please do yourself a favor and start reading them!
