Kraay; Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, The Burton Y. Berry Collection, Part II, Megaris to Egypt (1962); Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum, Sammlung Dreer, Klagenfurt im Landesmuseum fur Karnten, I.

E. G. Spencer-Churchill of Northwick Park, and the Salting Collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum (1931). A useful working shelf of standard references, covering Roman imperial coinage and important Greek series from old cabinet and named collections, with the early SNG volumes particularly desirable in the specialist library and seldom found in such mixed scholarly groupings. The paper covers show light wear and shelf dust, the covers are good for the age and years of use, with minor spine fading and general handling, and the Ashmolean volume shows the same signs of use consistent with long reference work, overall VG from many years of use. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
