V4 2001 INDEX       E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

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]
