Opinions on Spanish Medal Reference Book

[Scott]

This book is being offered for sale, used, for $150 USD. Is this a rare book worth this price?

Opinions welcome

[Dolfek]

Not really. I have it, it´s a good book, and even though it covers a lot of medals from different periods, all pictures are in black and white. And the description of many medals is quite simple, it only covers the medal design, but not why it was awarded and how many awards were made.

Not worth that money, besides, it´s in spanish.

Regards,

Dolfek.

Hi;

I have Mr. Prieto Barrios new CD and I highly recomend it.

With no doubt it is the best spanish medals, orders and awards work with plenty of color pictures and legal regulations.

Gracias por el CD que he recibido a través del amigo Jaume de Barcelona.
