A Copy of ESC I Bought

Last summer, I bought a few books from the ANA's Summer Seminar book sale. The librarian always says there's some cool stuff hidden in there. I drew a late entry ticket into the sale, meaning I was nowhere near getting early pick of the merchandise, but I found a copy of Seaby's English Silver Coinage. I didn't have one, so I figured I'd spend the $6 and get it. It had been signed, but I didn't pay too much attention to it at the time. Turns out, it was P. Alan Rayner's personal copy. As the librarian was saying, cool stuff in that sale.

Great find! And very useful book.
I used to love pawing through the ANA Library booksale.
Cool find!
There are a few pages with additional notes made by Rayner. His handwriting wasn't the greatest, but I'm probably not the best to complain about that.
