It annotated and supplemented the Georgii Mikhailovich volumes then in print and brought forward a comprehensive range of newly identified Petrine copper—one of Zubov’s strong suits. There was the 1711 double-date kopeck, and no less than four different Sevsk chekhs.” — Journal of the Russian Numismatic Society, Spring 1988 issue. Ex Leonidas C. Hermes (Kolbe Sale 71, lot 122), with his label. Rare. Gromachevskii 137, where he notes that it was printed in small quantities for personal distribution.

Tall 8vo, original green textured Japanese bookbinding cloth; brown morocco spine label, gilt. 335, (1) pages; illustrated. Fine. Edition limited to 150 copies. An essential work for those interested in numismatic literature. The book begins with a foreword by Jonathan H.

Interesting and informative notes and commentary will be found throughout the book, including anecdotes, observations on the importance and rarity of certain titles, including their scope and content, etc. The volume comprises a detailed catalogue of the compiler’s reference library, formed over four decades as a dealer in rare and out-of-print numismatic publications. In essence it is a bibliography of numismatic bibliographies and related publications. While the author makes no claim of completeness, well over one thousand publications are listed and described.

It is massive in size, and contains many fantastic enlargements of the best Greek coins you are ever likely to see. The text (by Colin Kraay) is very well written, and the photography (by Max Hirmer) is truly incredible, even by today’s standards. Long out of print, this is arguably the world’s most sought after numismatic book.”
