Half Cent help needed...

I just received my first Half Cent, 1804 C-10 VF25, and am interested in picking up a good reference. Which is the best? From what I can find I have three choices:

"The Half Cent Die State Book" by Ronald P. Manley
"American Half Cents-The Little Half Sisters" by Roger S. Cohen
"Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of United States Half Cents"

I know the Cohen book is THE standard reference. What do the other books add to the mix?

I just did a search and saw that Conder recommends both the Manley and Breen books above the Cohen reference. Any body got an extra copy of these laying around for sale?
