NEW BOOK: ISLAMIC HISTORY THROUGH COINS, REVISED EDITION

Author Jere Bacharach submitted this information about the new edition of his book on Islamic coins. Congratulations! -Editor

Coinage cover lay I am very pleased to announce that the revised second edition of "Islamic History through Coins: An Analysis and Catalogue of Tenth-Century Ikhshidid Coinage" (Revised Edition) is now available as an e-book but only as an e-book. It is a revised and expanded digital edition of my investigation of what historians can learn through the study of coins focusing on the Ikhshidid dynasty. The following is from the AUC Press announcement.

As noted in a number of reviews, Islamic History through Coins has become the standard reference for Islamic coinage struck by the Ikhshidid rulers of Egypt and Palestine (935-69). The second edition not only corrects minor errors in the first edition but adds data on more than three hundred new specimens, including a half-dozen coin types not identified in the first edition. The new specimens include two examples struck with the mint name Mecca and a gold issue associated with the famous eunuch Kafur, two years before he became sole ruler of Egypt.

The delay in making this announcement was to ensure that the correct price for the e-book was available. It is $19.99 and can be ordered through the Amazon Kindle store, Barnes & Noble Nook store, Apple iBooks store, Google Play Books store, and Kobo, in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, and everywhere else these stores are available. If you are in the Middle East including Egypt, you might find that the price is significantly higher on some of these stores. In order to obtain the same price of $19.99, please consider buying the e-book directly from the AUC Press eBook store at: http://ebooks.aucpress.com.
