Robert A G Carson. A Radius book published by Hutchinson & Co., London, 1971.  HB (black cloth with gilt-lettered spine).  145 pages + 24 un-numbered pages for the index, bibliography, etc., + 16 excellent collotype b&w plates.  ISBN 0091048303.  Top and foredge dusty and foxed. Ironically the dj is really nice and clean whilst the prelims and some of the text are also spotted with foxing.

A really good survey written by one of the nicest people who worked at the BM and had time for a  budding young numismatist who was keen to investigate the pleasures of numismatics. PW
