MOST UNREAD NUMISMATIC BOOK

  An article about physicist Stephen Hawking and his popular
  book,  "A Brief History of Time" (which few buyers were
  able to read beyond Chapter Two) prompts Dick Johnson
  to ask:  "What is the numismatic field's most unread book?
  My vote:  Albert Stockvis, a Cleveland coin collector who
  cataloged his own collection. Ever (never?) heard of it?"

  [I have heard of it, and may actually have a copy in my
   "archive" (i.e. unstructured mess) of numismatic ephemera.
  Cleveland numismatic publications were one specialty of
  The Money Tree's Ken Lowe; perhaps the Stockvis booklet
  was written up in one of their sales.  -Editor]
