          The Armchair Guide to Coins
           
          by Aprille Foole 
          An announcement of a new book specially for 1st April. 
          A collector’s guide to coins found down the back of sofas and other furnishings. It is written by a leading expert who holds a chair at
          a well known university. This is an historical review of the coins found down the back of furniture. 
          Features: 
          
            - The ancients – and the reclining couch. The Romans were party people and sometimes dropped a denarius or two down the back of a
            couch.
 
            - Swedish plate money found in flat pack / self-assembly furniture.
 
            - Early colonial minimalist chairs and tables
 
            - The very rare Titanic “deckchair” hoard.
 
           
          Also what else to find; such as pencils, pens, magazines, fluff, pets, and sweets. 
          Builds on the major texts in other languages:
           
          L ’amour et le chaise longe in French
           
          Das settee und Pfenningsindemsofa in German. 
          If you want to pre-order a copy check the date.
