1 comments about Modern World Coins.
- MODERN WORLD COINS covers the periods 1850-1964, and comes from a hobby legend who produced the well-known 'Red Book' reference on the topic. This 14th edition has been completely updated with new photos and retail valuations by coin type in up to four grade levels, and comes from a team of exports - editor Arthur Friedberg and group - who provide clear photos and quick reference data. Any collection strong in coin collecting needs this.

1 comments about The Modern House Today.
- This is a super photo book of the best streamline houses built in England in the thirties and still standing. Photographer Nick Dawe has captured sixty-five of them and he makes them sparkle in the sunshine, some interiors shots are included as well. Author Kenneth Powell provides short essays to the four chapters and captions to each set of house photos.
Good as the book is I only gave it four stars because I felt it was let down by the sloppy minimalist design. Of the sixty-five houses shown only fifteen have floor plans (beautifully redrawn by James Taylor) and strangely these are placed in three sections of the book rather than be placed on the same page as the relevant house photo. Bizarrely the eighteen pages of plans do not have page numbers, should the reader really have to flick backwards and forwards to find the house and then the plan (if there is one!) There are nineteen spreads that have one large photo and again no page numbers. Call me old fashioned but I prefer to have numbers printed on each page, every other book has them and they work, too.
Some of the house interior photos seem rather obscure and not helped because there are no captions to them.
So apart from the silly annoying design I found this book worth having. A similar book of streamline houses, this time in the US, is James and Katherine Ford's 'Classic Modern Homes of the Thirties', a reprint of a 1940 book with photos and plans of houses designed by Schindler, Ain, Neutra, Gropius, Breuer and others. It has 194 photos and 128 plans and details about each house. Oh, and it has a number on each page too!
