Greek and Roman Provincial Coins - Lydia (GRPC Lydia) by Dane Kurth



Greek and Roman Provincial Coins - Lydia (GRPC Lydia) by Dane Kurth is a massive corpus of the coins of Lydia, with 1,157 pages in four volumes, describing 6383 Lydian coins with 6278 illustrated on 466 plates. Unlike BMC, SNG Copenhagen, SNG München, etc., this corpus is not limited to examples in specific collections. It includes ALL Lydian coins known to the author from public, national and private collections, as well as hundreds of new varieties documented from auction and sale listings up to Autumn 2019. With additional pages of indices, lists of types, monograms, references and sources, the new GRPC Lydia is an indispensable work for dealers and collectors who wish to describe their coins with precision. Four hardbound volumes with slip cover as follows:

Vol. I: The Early Electrum, Gold and Silver Coinage of Lydia, xix + 89 pages, 542 coins in 37 plates - Sample Page/Plate

I ordered my copy through FORVM yesterday.  It's pricey but really in line with most of the new  SNG volumes from Turkey.  Even though it is ordered through FORVM, it is shipped directly from the publisher.  Let's hope the publisher takes the care in packaging that Joe's crew does!

Can't wait to get it!!

I had no influence at all over the price. That was up to "Uncle John" who asked me to write the books and who has already republished numerous works such as SNG von Aulock and SNG Cop (all the reprints from "Sunrise Publications" on the inside page are those which John has had reprinted.)
Don't forget though that the price includes postage and even without the slipcase and packaging, the four volumes weigh 6 kg (5.944 kg = 13 lbs). Also, comparing the price vs number of coins listed with those of e.g. SNG Turkey 8 (which has 377 coins), it all becomes quite a bargain 
I received my set last week already, and did not want a slip case because of the way my books are sorted on my sagging shelves.

Yea!  Got my copy today  Very impressive--great work Dane.  Arrived safe and sound--very well packaged.  Plan on taking it on vacation next week (where I will be isolated indoors).  That will be my work-out for the week; lugging that massive tome around!

If you have bought the books, don't forget that you can sign up to my mailing list for any future supplements.

I hope I have managed to sort out how to use the Mailman utility on my catbikes server so you can sign up here.
http://lists.catbikes.ch/mailman/listinfo/grpcsupplements.

You will be asked to confirm your sign-up.
IMPORTANT: please note that the email asking you to confirm will come from ..@catbikes.ch. This is my husband's website, which is hosting the mailing list and it is perfectly safe to click on the confirmation link in that email.

I am not familiar with Mailman, so I hope that I have the settings right, so that only I can post to the list (when the first supplement is done) and so that the subscribers are not bombarded with messages from other subscribers (I hate it when that happens).

Let me know by email if there is a problem or anything weird happens.

Mine arrived also. Fantastic work, Dane!  I have signed up for the supplements.

Eugene - I cannot see you in the list. Did you click on the confirmation link in the email that the system sent to you ?
This sign-up confirmation is just to avoid someone signing you up for something you don't want.

The book is a joy to use.  Perfect size and very well organized.  My copy is already marked up with marginal notes, check marks, etc.

I too signed up for the supplement list and followed through with the e-mail confirmation.
