    They average about $140 to $180 depending on condition, and which edition.

    What Mac said, the one on Amazon seems a bit much. I bought mine 3-4 years ago, interior is fine but the back spine is damaged and it was $125 at the time. I would expect to pay $150-175 for a decent one today.

    I got my copy on eBay a couple of years ago for $110 - second edition

    Not really in my interest area anymore though.

    To which must be added the adendum published by Peck shortly before he died in the 1967 BNJ which adds another page and a half of varieties

    This is a book I've needed only sporadically since I finished my Liz-to-Liz "British World"
    type set some 25 years ago, so for the last few years I've relied on my local public
    library to get it for me via Interlibrary Loan whenever I need it...maybe once or twice
    a year, on average. I've been surprised every time at how quickly one arrives (usually
    within 2-3 weeks) and where they come from...Canadian libraries, university libraries,
    and even the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress!

    The one over there on the far edge of my desk right now came from Montclair State
    University in New Jersey.

    If you need to actually own a copy, you'd probably do well to run a search on
    Google Books, alibris.com, abebooks.com, bibliofind.com, and our favorite, eBay.

    So, Don, they're out there, and they don't have to be expensive at all!

    Best ~

    Hi Rob,

    Do you have a copy of that addendum???

    That's a brilliant idea that I hadn't thought of before. My local library is small and has virtually no numismatic references.

    I've been struggling with the decision to invest in a set of Mitchener's works on medals & tokens, but I would only use them rarely. This looks like a good way to test drive the books. If I use them more regularly than I thought, then I'll invest in a set. If I don't, then I'm only out some overdue fines image

    Now to see if my local library supports this type of exchange.

    Thanks again for the idea!
