During this weekend, QE II’s Platinum Jubilee weekend, Spink Books has two of their books on sale (pictured below) for any of you that may be interested.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I have both books and can say they are worth being in a collection. I do not have a lot of books in my collection yet, because some of them are digital, but still, it's good to have something like that. Besides, I have a literature course, and I can use any of them and write amazing papers. Last time, however, I used the help of https://edubirdie.com/assignment-writing-service because the task was pretty complicated, and even my library didn't help me. So I decided not to waste any more time and get professional help.

It's amazing to have such a book in your collection I think. Has someone checked if it's available online? Or no?

So many books, so little time.

 I’m in the middle of reading Roger’s book, From Mine to Mint, and came across an interesting book that follows somewhat the same topic. Just in case someone is interested. Not as an alternative to Roger’s book, it is excellent, but as an addition to it, from across the pond.

Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) was a globally important industrialist who introduced innovative minting practices at his Soho Mint. This book describes the processes involved, from mining the copper to the delivery of products to the customer.

There was a shortage of small change towards the end of the 18th century, and Boulton strove to solve this problem, eventually obtaining customers all over Britain, including the British Government. He also made coins for the East India Company, and for Europe, Africa, the West Indies and America.

Included is Boulton’s role in the copper industry, and how he obtained his raw materials; his expertise in steel making for dies, and the technology of his new steam-powered mint. The design, production, marketing and distribution of the finished product is also covered. The book is illustrated with over 200 colour images, including an extensive section on the coins, tokens and medals produced at the Soho Mint.

Matthew Boulton is a very interesting personality, and I'm great that I decided to get this book. I'm sure I'll like it, but I honestly have no idea when I'll find time to read it. I have a lot of tasks to do and educational books to read, and it takes a lot of time. I've started using the help of https://papersowl.com/do-my-assignment, where I can find amazing writers to do my assignment, and it saves me some time. But still, I barely have time for something except education, but the book won't go anywhere.

Great addition to the library. This book is amazing

I don't remember when I read such book for the last time. They are interesting for me, but I don't have enough time for reading lately!
