MORE ON THE 100 GREATEST WORKS OF AMERICAN NUMISMATIC LITERATURE
Jeff Reichenberger writes:My two cents worth about the '100 Greatest Works of
American Numismatic Literature': For a numismatic bibliophile with a small
but expanding library, the list is invaluable. It simply offers an amazing
compilation of titles to peruse (many I never knew existed), from which I
can cherry pick those that interest me, seek out and purchase on the
aftermarket. What a fantastic resource to have at your fingertips!
Those of us who've been around numismatic literature for a
while tend to take a lot for granted. Back in the day when I got started
in this realm, there were some lists to go by, but they seemed to be at
one extreme or the other - either short lists of five or six recommended
works, or a complete bibliography listing everything under the sun -
hundreds or even thousands of titles. A "top 100" list vetted by
experienced collectors would have been very useful to me. So I'm looking
forward to the book and expect it will provide a boost to the hobby.
