BOOK REVIEW: HUNGARIAN TRANSPORTATION TOKENS

Dave Hirt provided this review of the book by Zombori Lajos & Tóth József on Hungarian transportation tokens and tickets. Thanks! -Editor

Hungarian Transport Tokens book I promised to find information on that token book Magyar Közlekdési Bárcák. The only listing I could find was an antiquarian book site bookline.hu. This site is only in Hungarian, not easy for a English reader. I bought a copy.

It is listed for 3000Ft, about $14 at current exchange. I have no idea what the overseas shipping charges would be.

The best thing is that each item is pictured. If a token was struck in more than one metal, all are listed. There is a Hungarian-English vocabulary of the key words. About half the listings are paper items, which I would call tickets. The biggest disappointment to me is that rarity is not given. It has card covers, 237 pages.
