I finally gave up on Amazon and got it a couple months ago from a numismatic bookseller. in the US. I should have given them the business from the start. I didn't appreciate how Amazon played around with how they listed this book and have seen them lie on other recently published books, most of which
had nothing to do with coins. And they were lying for a few months on this one. I have stopped
buying anything through Amazon unless there is no other option for a number of reasons that include lying about their stock, but it goes far beyond that. It is a great book, but I do agree on the British coin publishers and their quirks that seem to be widespread in various ways in coin topic publishing. Copy editing seems to be lacking in coin collecting books, for example. Not a huge deal, but I notice
typos having been an editor in the past. I need to do a real review on Shawn's book, it truly is a great book and highly recommended for anyone interested in late
Roman coins.
