There is a saying among numismatists — buy the book before the coin. Numismatic books provide a wealth of information about the coins, medals, badges etc.. that people study or collect. The following photos are from the numismatic library of one of PAN's board members. He has spent for than 30 years acquiring this material.

The repainting gave me a chance to re-organize the Fort 'Memorial' Library, including the (in)famous Doc Savage annex.

While the library covers the coinage of Europe from the ancient Greek to the 17th century AD, its particular strengths lie in the coinages and history of the Roman Republic, the British Isles up to the mid-12th century, the Frankish kingdoms under the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties, and especially Scotland in the 12th and 13th centuries and again in the first half of the 17th century. Also, due to my wife's work and interests there are a number of books on Polish numismatics and medals relating to science and medicine.
