Kraay, Colin and Hirmer, Max. GREEK COINS. New York: Abrams. 1966. Large format, tan linen binding, gold stamped title. 396 pages, 4 maps, 1329 high quality coin illustrations plus 20 color plates of particularly noteworthy Greek coins tipped-in-photo separately produced and attached to a page in the text. Arguably the finest and most dramatic book ever produced presenting the glory of Greek coins in photography accompanied by exceptional text by Kraay, the book is a treasure for art lovers and coin enthusiasts alike. Exceptional copy with a fully intact dust jacket; the cover has been protected by a library style plastic cover that completely encloses the dust jacket; the only flaw in the book is a bit of discoloration on the fly leaves from the aged Scotch tape the former owner used to hold the clear cover in place (an unnecessary precaution given the nature of the protective cover). Otherwise the book is virtually as new. (My personal copy cost $400 in the early 1990's. AD).
