As I usually mention about books on coins and/or stamps, go to the Whitman Publishing web site and request a catalog. They publish many books on coins.
Myself I basically only have for coins all the Red Books from 47 to present. A variety of the Blue Book. My Library is a bit cluttered with Chemistry and Astronomy Books since that is what I used to teach in college. Also, a massive amount of gun books so not much room left for coin books.
And too I'm finding the use of the internet a lot more usefull than my books for most things. Usually faster answers to my questioins although at times the answers are sort of shaky.
