The E-Sylum:  Volume 4, Number 37, September 9, 2001, Article 10

QUOTE'S AUTHOR STILL MISSING 

   No one has been able to come up with an attribution for 
   the quote "Having a coin without studying it is the same as 
   having a book without reading it." 

   David Ganz writes: "The short version of that is "buy the 
   book before the coin" and sounds like something Aaron 
   Feldman had posited for many years." 

   [It's a similar sentiment, no doubt, but not quite the same 
   Perhaps one possibility is that something was changed in 
   a translation of Feldman's remarks into Spanish. -Editor]
