The E-Sylum: Volume 7, Number 13, March 28, 2004, Article 4 SPINK FIXED PRICE LIST Hadrien Rambach of Spink writes: "As in every issue of the Numismatic Circular, the oldest fixed-price list in the numismatic world, founded in 1892, and now published every two months, the April issue of Spink's Circular will offer many rare and out-of-print numismatic books. There are almost 250 items in this interesting issue, on many different aspects of the subject from Ancient Greek coins (with for example 3 scarce titles by T.S. Bayer, 1734-1738), the Royal Mint (the important work by G.F. Ansell, 1870), also books on Cufic coins (the two volume catalogue of the Borgia collection, 1782-1795), and other Islamic coins (including an extremely rare 1794 publication of O.G. Tychsen), - The section including books on Islamic coinages is larger than usual. As always there are a few books with interesting provenances (the Farouk catalogue with a letter from Douglas Liddell, a 1st edition of Historia Numorum with letters from E.S.G. Robinson, C. Seltman and G.F. Hill, etc.). However the ¾ morocco-bound copy of E. Babelon's almost complete Traité des monnaies grecques et romaines (1901- 1933), and a nice copy of Adam Berg's New Munzbuech (1604, the most attractive 'coin-book' of the 16th and 17th centuries) undoubtedly are the most notable. A large selection of coins is, as usual, also included." Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
