Great Author
While reading a resent article in the ANA's Numismatist or was it a Coin World, I so enjoyed the article that I checked out the author. It was James R. Clifford. I researched him and found he also wrote a novel. It's called Double Daggers. I read the book and highly recommend it. It's a great read when you want to stay in the field of numismatics but need a break from pure facts. In short, the story follows the path of the Eid Mar coin. Though fiction there is a lot of historic fact inside. You might give it a try.

Yep, pretty good historical fiction. Decent read, even if you just have a casual interest in history; more enjoyable if you collect ancient coins! This is a title stocked by the ANA library - check the "Library Catalog" for current availability (under the "Discover" heading on the ANA home page.)

That would be great, in my opinion. The auther has autographed all the books I bought from him, 3. He has a pretty cool web site. I swear I don't work for him. I'm looking forward to visiting the gift shop this summer.
