Les Carlisle Australian Historical Medals Self-Published Sydney (NSW) 2008 681 pages 21*32cm Hardcover ISBN:978 098 040 6153 Very Good The definitive work on Australian commemorative medals and medallions. There can be no arguing that this book is the definitive work on Australian commemorative medals and medallions, because Les Carlisle is the only author to have tackled the subject! The lack of competition hasn't affected the quality of this work however, as this has to be easily equal to the finest works on any Australian numismatic subject ever written. Each and every item listed has been described in a rigorous and meticulous manner, there is no doubt at all that Les has a passion for the series and has treated it in a systematic and respectful manner. Not many Australian collectors will have cause to call on the information contained within these covers, however if you have even a passing interest in the commemorative medals and medallions that have been struck in and for Australia, you simply must have a copy of this book. Although commemorative medals is a series in and of itself, keep in mind that this book also relates to a number of other categories of Australian numismatics. A number of medal manufacturers also produced coins or other numismatic items, meaning that a wide range of collectors will do well to get a copy of it. |
