New Books for me -- Barrington Atlas, RBW Collection, and more
PMah:
February isn't half over, but it is numismatically going extremely well for me. The books are stacking up:
The Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World -- a giant book, not easy to find, pre-loved, but only the dust jacket needs repair. (And is about 32 by 48 cms!)
New, and not any easier to lug home:
The RBW Collection, from the sale catalogs, consolidated by NAC with additional notes, including from Andrew McCabe.
Fides, the ANS festschrift for RBW (also with McCabe article) (and 500 pgs+)
And, the current AJN has arrived!
Not only that, I have a few great books from Forum that are soon to arrive. I am not sure I want an early Spring!
Jay GT4:
Great pick ups! I've been looking for an affordable Barrington's for a long time.
PMah:
Thank you, Jay. It took a great deal of patience and a bit of bargaining to get to "affordable". I actually picked up the 2 volume companion directory/notes sooner than the Atlas itself. I think a large portion of a bottom shelf will become home to the atlas; too dangerous to have above one's head.
I will post some notes in a few weeks as I get more familiar with it.
Carausius:
Wonderful books PMah! I don't yet have the Barrington Atlas in my library. It's perpetually on my book want list. Alas, it's expensive and oversized. Neither my wallet nor bookshelf have room.
Equity:
The iPad version of the Barrington atlas, modulo a few minor bugs, was quite usable in my experience. It cost about 20 USD a few years ago.
