Welcome to the Pradier Numismatic Literature web site, serving the collector of Numismatic books, periodicals, auction catalogues and Numismatics in general. I have been a collector of Numismatic Literature for the past 8 years. During this time I have come in contact with many other collectors and dealers who have a great appreciation for Numismatic Literature.
    
    The purpose of this web site is to share information with others who have an appreciation for Numismatic Literature and Numismatics in general.
   I will provide herein links to numismatic literature dealers, bibliographic resources, numismatic organizations, and educational sites that I have both dealt with professionally or have an interest in.
 
I am currently a member of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society and have had the opportunity to write and have published a few articles for the society’s journal 'The Asylum'. 
  
  I highly recommend that anyone with an interest in numismatic literature to join the society and subscribe to the societies electronic newsletter 'The Esylum'.

I am also a member of the following organizations:

          American Numismatic Association                                                                                                   Life Member No. 5645                                                                              

                      
                                     American Numismatic Society
                                     Royal Numismatic Society
                                     British Numismatic Society 
 
       For those of you who are new to the subject of numismatics a brief definition follows:
     Numismatics(nu·mis·mat·ics) is the scientific study of money and its history in all its varied forms. While numismatists are often characterized as studying coins, the discipline also includes the study of banknotes, stock certificates, medals, medallions, and token coins (also referred to as Exonumia). 

  One of the best resources and pleasures of coin collecting is the building of a numismatic library. Used book shops, coin shops, on-line sellers, coin shows, and auctions are great sources of both old and new books. Auction catalogs can also be sources of a great deal of useful information. Books are wonderful, and it would be a dull world and hobby without them.
