CRITIC'S CORNER:  BREEN'S ENCYCLOPEDIA  

   The critic's corner has generated a great deal of interest. 
   Next week we'll focus on a book on U.S. Numismatics: 
   "Walter Breen's Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and 
   Colonial Coins"   Remember, our intention is not to discuss 
   content, but to take the bibliophile's perspective.  

   What are the book's best and worst features?  What could 
   have been done to improve it?   Would you have changed 
   the illustrations?  The text?  The layout?  The arrangement? 
   The numbering system?  What features could have improved 
   its usability, readability, or reference value?
