Wanted: Literature on Oriental Coins and History
Last updated October 8, 2006
The following is a list of literature wanted by members of the Oriental coin
collecting community. Most are numismatic publications, but some are pure
history. I have listed the name of the person(s) searching for a book or journal
article after each entry in the list.
If you happen to have any of this literature for disposal, see any of these
for sale in literature catalogues or are a bookseller who has one or more of
these titles, please contact the person looking for it. Just click on the
person's name to send an email.
If you want to add a title to the list or have found a book and want a title
removed, please contact Jim Farr. I
will modify the list appropriately and submit emails to the Islamic and South
Asia lists on a somewhat regular basis to remind people that there is literature
being sought.
