Darkside but Fun addition to library

I’m at a point of my coin collecting that new additions are hard as I currently lack a concentrated focus. So I have been adding books and reading more and having as much fun doing the books as I had been with coins previously. The financial aspects are not as consequential as coins which might add to the enjoyment as well. Here is a recent new purchase. It really just goes to show that guys like us have been around for hundreds of years. An English redbook the predates it by over 200 years with a cool provenance.

    One of the things I love most about the book is there a various collector scribbles from over the centuries, Somebody really use that book to catalog their hobby

    I've got that book, but have never read it. Shame on me. I'll now make the effort.
    Thanks,
