  C. WILSON PECK QUOTE
  

  Alan Luedeking writes: "In E-Sylum Vol. IV, Nos. 13 & 14,
  Aaron Feldman's famous "Buy the Book Before the Coin"
  statement is traced to a first documented appearance in
  1966. On the back cover of Al Almanzar's 1972 "Latin
  American Numismatic Bibliography (Including the Caribbean)",
  appears the following quote:
  

  "C. Wilson Peck, who is often referred to as 'The Father of
  British Numismatics', is quoted as having said: 'How do you
  become a numismatist? The first thing is to buy a book. I
  would sooner spend five pounds on a good book than I
  would on a coin. Many people will not buy books. I cannot
  understand them.'"
  

  Does anyone know when he said this?"
