This is my kind of thread! I purchase way more books than coins these days. Will post some recent pick-ups soon! In the meantime, enjoying everyone else's purchases.
Thomas L. Elder (1908): Catalogue of the Eighteenth Public Auction Sale of a Splendid
Collection of American and English Coins, the Property of Peter Gschwend, Esq. of

first copy includes 17 fine photographic plates, the second is hand-priced in ink (Elmer

Hartman Woodin bought Gschwend’s entire collection, picked out coins he wanted, and
then consigned the discards to Elder, who auctioned them off as the Gschwend Collection.

Those of you that are members of the Token And Medal Society (TAMS) may have received a surprise recently (or have one coming). Dave Bowers recently completed a 2nd Edition of his "A Tune For A Token" catalog of tokens used to play mechanical music machines, 224 pages, hardbound. The first edition was published by TAMS as a supplement to the TAMS Journal, the bi-monthly member publication of the society. This second edition is also issued as a free supplement and will be distributed to all current members of TAMS, continuing a practice Dave B. has used with the Civil War Token Society with several recent postage only releases. Ken Goldman and Dave Bowers made substantial donations to TAMS to fund this work.
Please note -- if you are a TAMS member and haven't received your copy as yet, have patience as the supplements are being mailed 25-50 at a time from a small P.O. due to the Covid-19 situation. You can get information about TAMS at tokenandmedal.org

Jean Boizard was a 17th-century French scholar known for his role in the development of French numismatics and knowledge of coin and medal collecting. In 1692 he published a short, but famous, treatise on coins. This book, 'Traité des Monnoyes' (Treatise on Money) , was an accurate and detailed work focusing on the coinage alloys and minting of coins at the Paris mint. This work frightened the French government, which subsequently banned it under the premise that it could be used as a guidebook for counterfeiting!

Construction restarts tomorrow after contractors were banned from working. So this next week or two will be skylight cut in (6ft x 3ft lake view), building in the built in benches and shelving, and then the flooring. Should be done soon!

I fell several months or more behind in picking up the new state catalogs that are available but I have two or three more different states coming in this week after this pair arrived yesterday. This is the new 3rd edition of the Nebraska Trade Token Catalog which went to two volumes and to spiral binding (the 2nd was one large hardbound volume). Most everything else has stayed the same as far as listing style but many new listings have been added, the rarities have been adjusted when needed and eight pages of color plates have been added. The plates illustrate some rare towns, saloon tokens, good for mirrors, rare transportation, military and post traders. It will be more difficult for the NE collectors to lug to shows but will work much better for me in the office. It's available from the publishers on eBay.
A couple days ago I had a surprise package at my door and this Trade Dollar book was inside. So far I am on chapter two. Such a tremendous amount of detailed information. Can’t wait to get through the rest of the book. Thanks @Pickwickjr

As mentioned above, I had a couple new editions of state trade token catalogs arrive today. The first one up is the third edition of New Mexico Trade Tokens by Billy Kiser, spiral bound, 255 pages, 166 of them are images (25 per page) of most of the tokens listed with the pages sandwiched in the middle of the catalog. It comes in two versions with either black & white or color plates. The black & white are adequate for my working purposes but a collector might opt for the color edition (about twice the money if still available). The pricing is ok if used as a relative rarity scale but problematic for individual better pieces. It is the only current catalog available on NM tokens.
An important addition to my library, the catalogs of the Manuel Vidal Quadras y Ramon collection. This is likely the finest and largest collection of Spanish coins ever assembled. It sold in Barcelona in 1892. These are reprints from 1975. Four volumes in total.
This is my library. I've been collecting since 2002. My father-in-law built and stained the crates to make a bookshelf for me two Christmases ago. The ducks are from the outer banks about 10 years ago (the bird store). It's tucked in a small corner of our busy living room. My daughter's dance bag and my son's book bag are hanging from hooks above.
Here is my current library. I sold several books and auction catalogs when I left the hobby a few years ago, but I kept some good ones, I think:
Ford auction catalogs
Pittman auction catalogs
Eliasberg auction catalogs
Norweb auction catalogs
Garrett auction catalogs
Parmelee and Roper auction catalogs
Plus several books focused on coins from the US colonial and related periods.

Here are a few shelves of my library. Have books in three rooms of the house. My wife won’t allow me more room 😩. My son did the built in bookcases for a Christmas present some years ago 🙂.
Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
