From the Mar. 22 Numismatic News E-Newsletter:

What is your favorite reference book, and why?

Here are some answers sent in from our e-newsletter readers.

 

 

My favorite book is really the series of books that cover world coins, the Krause Publications Standard Catalog of World Coins. Being able to look up any coin from the 1600s up to the present is extremely helpful. Information provided such as pricing in various grades, minting information, and geographic and political affiliation of each country is very important to my coin collecting hobby.

I hope that the current news about F+W does not affect this series of books. They are just too important to the hobby to fade away.

Being an Oklahoma Token collector first, my favorite is Oklahoma Exonumia by Richard Chadwick.

My favorite was the Standard Catalog of Small-Size U.S. Paper Money but alas it is no longer being published.

The Red Book!

My favorite reference is the newly released A Comprehensive Checklist of Vietnam Military Tokens by Sgt. Garry Arva.

It’s the easiest to use reference on the 2,000+ tokens currently known. This is to be used in companion with the CD that has the tokens as well as chits listed.

Traditional craft of India: Handicrafts on Stamps Part II

Despite rapid social and technological changes in India, the use of craft products is an integral aspect of an Indian’s social life.  Handicraft aims at processing materials by hand with hand tools. The result of this can be a useful thing or a decorative item. The tradition of making handicrafts is deeply frozen in the social norms of Indian society. In any of the handmade products, a crafter transfers an aspect of their cultural heritage to the ideas, forms, material and manufacturing process of the craft. They’re skilled employees whose profession relies on manual skills. Their main tools are the power of work strategies. Handicraft contains plenty of implicit data that grows every year, along with skills. The order and apprentice system has been widely used to transfer skills and implicit data. This aspect of handicraft is recognized by India Post. In 2018, the Indian Postal Service has issued a series of handicrafts on stamps. The illustrated handicraft in these stamps series is
