What do you think of this book? I sent a note to a member of the Medal Collectors of America group, and he mailed to me an article entitled, “Books On Medals You Should Own”. Number one on the list was “The Art of the Medal” by Mark Jones (1979). Does anyone own this book?
I am guessing it is pretty good, because the article quotes an elegant statement of a dealer as follows:
“Dealer Paul Bosco calls The Art of the Medal, ‘the absolutely brilliant survey of medals, Renaissance to Modernist. It’s a great read and a true education. If you profess a serious interest in medals, generally, and you don’t obtain this book, you’re an ass. The book is that good.’”

I've never seen the book, but I've also been told it's a must-have for those interested in medals.
