The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 18, April 29, 2001, Article 5 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?"
