I received my set of Henry Scott Goodman’s republication (soft-bound) of volumes one and two of Gunter Kienast’s books on Karl Goetz’ medals. They were extremely well protected during shipping by a heavy duty box and were well wrapped; they arrived in flawless condition. The covers look gorgeous and the printing is quite good. I’m very happy with them. Definitely a cost-effective alternative to the long out-of-print and hard to find hardbound originals (or even, for bibliophiles, in addition to the hardbound copies). I think the ease and relative low-cost of acquiring these quality issues will open up to purchasers the broad panorama of subjects and themes Goetz covered. Recommended.
