Howdy yall!

I am asking if anyone knows where i can find the Walker Book on Islamic coins, I believe its John Walker. Id hope to find a PDF or a reprinting i have had a hard time finding it as Amazon redirects me to a Tim Walker book on the subject , google also provides no fruit sadly as it constantly shows Wikipedia or Reviews or references to the book in question, not the book itself. Any help or points in the right direction would help. thanks yall! Happy hunting on Cyber Monday!

There is this site - not sure if it is Auctions or a Shop ...
https://www.barnebys.co.uk/auctions/lot/a-catalogue-of-the-arab-byzantine-and-post-reform-umaiyad-coins-john-walker-y30RHhloMyT Fixed Price: 57 GBP
Maybe it is a past auction result, but I see no sale date.
It also mentions Abe Books, and maybe they are/were the seller.
Would be nice as it was owned by Murray Gell-Mann who was awarded
the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1969. :8D

Thirdly, this just found - looks like what you want (but without pictures) ...

From a site titled 'Internet Archive' -
Full text of "Catalogue Of The Arab-Byzantine And Post- Reform Umaiyad Coins".

BUT - it is a scan then computerisation of the book text, so it has some spelling mistakes,
such as that picture shows POST-EEFORM for example.

Will any of those three results help, or shall I continue searching? :)

You can also go to the main page of the book on the 'Internet Archive' site that ZacUK mentioned and download in different format like pdf so that you will get the images as well
