Wow, can't believe I forgot to include this volume in my previous post:
The Early Paper Money of America, Eric P. Newman
I need to review and see what else I missed.

Purchased Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman today.
My library is growing slower this year. This is only the third numismatic book I've purchased in 2016.

I have only bought one book this year and one more on the way. Last year I bought over 80 books and don't even have a want list anymore. |

I now have a couple of the rare out of print "Comprehensive encyclopedia of Seated quarters" books by Larry Briggs due to a large book purchase, might need to sell one off. However my big score (to me) this week was finding a Harry X Boosel 1873-1873 on ebay in a low cost BIN sale. I also had a chance to met Mr. Len Ausberger at the Dallas, TX money show, a very respected and noted author of US numismatic books, wish I knew he was going to be there, I would have taken a few things to have him sign. It was a chance meeting at Rick Uhrich's table, where I saw an open 1873 Proof Two Cent Piece in PCGS PR08 pop of 3 with one known in worse grade, I had never seen one in that low of a grade, it was really cool, but not $1900 cool. http://www.richuhrichcoins.com/img/...ned/5864.jpg"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Congrats westcoin I know you had been hunting for an actual copy of the 1873-1873 book for a while.
I'm thinking I'll pass on the Deluxe hardbound Pogue catalogs. I know they'll be full of information and high quality however, I know they'd wind up sitting on my shelf collecting dust.

I really didn't have much besides several copies of The Red Book until today. In the mail today I received a book from a kind CCF member: "Early Half Dollar Die Varieties 1794-1836" by Al C. Overton, fifth printing (1970). I also was given the Kindle edition of "American Silver Eagles: A Guide to the U.S. Bullion Program" by John J. Mercanti. Those are in addition to: Red Book (2012-2016) 2016 Red Book (Deluxe Edition) A small collection but steadily growing. I plan to add "Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money" soon. |

 CelticKnot The first book ever given to me was an old RedBook which I used for several years. IIRC, the first RedBook I purchased was the 2006 model. It wasn't until 2008 that I started expanding my reference book with the purchase of several volumes of the Bowers Guide Book Series. -MV Edited by MeadowviewCollector

Just received this one today and you won't believe the price-$0.29 + shipping, $4.55 total. Can't beat it for the price. Lots of good information and looks new too! My next will be A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents, 3rd Edition-Rick Snow Between the two and this forum should help me build a nice IHC collection.  |

I am at around 100 titles related to coins, history of coins, or mints. Yesterday I received one that had been on my list - The Error Coin Encyclopedia by Arnold Margolis.
