As Peter Bernstein tells Economagic "My book on gold, The Power of Gold: The History of an Obsession, is out in a new illustrated edition -
a coffee table book - and absolutely breathtakingly beautiful with fabulous color illustrations and about 75%
of the original text.
With gold pushing $450, a book like this should be a natural for Xmas."
