  That's why I'm a Radiologist - I actually LIKE picture books.

  If you ordered the Mass silver book and got the Alexander book, it was a good deal, I think that one cost twice as much.

  My admiration for the Alexander book has nothing to do with the fact that David T. Alexander was Best Man at my wedding back in '86.
  
  
  
  If you did receive the wrong book from the ANS, consider just keeping it and buying it and letting them send you the one you originally ordered. Both will be excellent additions to your numismatic library!

  Got my copy Saturday. It is fantastic.
  .
  Even if you do not collect medals, it is wonderful to see the Society Of Medalists issues by famous coin designers such as Weinman, MacNeil, Fraser, and deFrancisci when they are not bound by the restrictions that the finished product fit in the coin slot of a vending machine!!!!!

  << <i>The ANS apparently had a shipping problem. Some people who ordered the David T. Alexander book on medals received the Mass. Silver book instead and vise versa.
  
  Don't panic. They are aware of the problem. Just give them a call and let them know you received the wrong book. They will send the right book.
  
  I just returned the Mass. Silver book since I ordered the book on medals. >>
  
  
  
  Please let us know when you get the medal book.
