    I get them from the ANA money market store, coin shows, online auctions, and Amos Advantage.

    Anywhere image I picked up a book for 2 dollars at the flea market a few weeks back...Always on the look out for books, love them just as much as the coins image

    Sad part is I'll have to get rid of alot of them before I move.

    Brooklyn Gallery Coin & Stamp. Look in the back of Coin World or go to their website for a larger selection. They have the best discounts I've seen anywhere.

    I've gotten most of them from seeing an offer for sale in the papers or on line. These are blurbs
    issued when the book is first released. Even with a nice pre-publication discount they are often
    cheaper if you wait, but very often they aren't available anymore and if you can find it at all it will
    cost an arm an a leg. If you ask for the author's signature you'll get it usually this way.

    I also pick them up wherever I see them. I've even found them in used book stores and garage
    sales. I just picked up Doty's "Money of the World" for a quarter a while back. It's an excellent
    work and was in brand new condition.

    From the local coin book guy who sets up at shows.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • Coin shows, coin shop, library, and I'll join the ANA soon so I'll also get it from there.
