    That place may well be "the last schmuck who paid to slaughter trees just to print things that can be done for free online!" <bg>

Economically it makes much more sense to put this online ONLY -- the cost is basically free. To print out and mail 300+ price lists (especially one that has 700+ coins, 250+ pages and 28 pages of photographs!) will run well over $5,000! But when the cataloguer is also one who enjoys numismatic literature, the thought of putting something out that is only comprised of electrons floating around a series of tubes <g> that will disappear once that whole online fad is over isn't pleasant!

    I completely agree, (and I consider an on-line price list the functional equivalent of a printed price list). That's an enjoyable way to purchase coins, if you're dealing with a dealer you like and trust and the coin is adequately described.
