US Bank Note Book-Catelogue Recommendations Please

You might try Paper Money of the United States by Arthur and Ira Friedberg, which covers both large and small notes, or possibly The Standard Guide to Small Size US Paper Money by Schwartz and Lindquist. The best reference for large notes (in my opinion) would be The Comprehensive Catalog of US Federal Large-Size Notes, 1861-1929 by Chambliss and Hessler. There are others as well.

I also agree on the RedBook. It is light in the details and not the first thing I grab off the shelf.
The Whitman Encyclopedia is definitely a fantastic book for information. I often get lost in simply looking at the pictures.

Thank you everyone for your input.

I tried as suggest my library, unfortunately in Calgary and surrounding area, none of the libraries have any of the suggested books.

I also checked many Canadian web book stores hoping one of them might have some sample copies. No luck there.

Naturally they are available on many of the .com sites.

The disappointing aspect of the .com sites is the lack of photographic samples of inside pages that they all fail to provide. Even the Whitman site doesn't show samples.

They typically list the number of pages, edition and price and a brief description.

As the saying goes, "one picture is worth a thousand words".

I will contact Whitman and see if they have any sample pages.

My current interests focus on the "Whitman Encyclopedia of US Paper Money" and "Paper Money of the United States".

Once again, thank you all for your input.

PS - if any of you or any of your numismatic collector friends are thinking of coming to Calgary for the 2019 Calgary Stampede (Worlds Biggest Outdoor Rodeo), my club will host the RCNA show immediately after the Stampede.

Keep well and Merry Christmas, Happy New year and Happy Hanukkah to all.
