Vecchi on Italian Cast Coinage -2013

[Carausius]

A new book on Italian Cast Coinage by Italo Vecchi was announced earlier this year for 2013 publication. Has anyone heard when this book will be released?

P.S. I am not asking about the Etruscan book, which I know is available.

The final editorial corrections have been made and the book
will be on sale by November.

[Carausius]

Thanks for the update! That's encouraging news.

Would I be correct in the assumption that if one gets this book, then you dont have to get his earlier books? Is it still on back order?

[Carausius]

Paddy:
I believe that is correct, as this new book is being marketed as an update of the 1970's book. I have not received my copy yet, so I assume the book is still not published.

[Carausius]

Paddy and others interested:
This book has either been published or is about to be published very soon. I received an email invitation to order from the publisher today. I will not name them out of respect for Forum.

Hi Cara,

It's true. I received the email today too.

Received my copy of the book in yesterday's mail. Woo hoo!  Pretty nice production (very thick paper stock) although I think the photos are all b/w. I never bought the 1970's edition, so I cannot tell what changed.

Did you get it shipped from Europe?  The American distributor said he'd contact me when the shipment arrives but I haven't heard from him.

[Carausius]

Yes. Got it shipped from the U.K.
