This is primarily a book on collecting medals rather than on medals as such. It omits individual descriptions as these are readily available elsewhere, but it aims to give the collector useful information not usually found in medal books. Based on his experience of over thirty-five years serious collecting, it provides notes on naming, genuine and false, unofficial bars, copies and many other points of interest. Among other matters, housing the collection, buying and selling, building a reference library, and identifying abbreviations of rank and unit, are all dealt with.
