Flight tomorrow, recommended reading

blu62vette

I have a long flight and a long layover tomorrow. I am mainly a Morgan collector so if you had to run to a store tonight and get some reading could you recommend anything? I assume most magazines may not be a great read but could kill some time so what would you pick up at a Borders or Barnes and Noble for a flight?

Thanks

Have you read the Whitman book on Morgans? Or the Crime of '73?

The Whitman book is good. A new version is in the works, but this should hold you over for a plane ride and stop-over. It is probably the most in-depth Morgan book you will find in a retail store too.

Longacre

Do you have the QDB book on Morgans? Any of his books would be good for the flights. I really like his Investing Guide and that should keep you busy for a while. They should be available at both Borders and B&N.

Can I ask where you are going?

Stephen King

Cell (Excellent Easy Read)
Lisey's Story (Much more complex plt, but excellent)
From A Buick 8 (For those who must ask why)
The Dark Tower (Series of 7 books)

You can, it is not exciting. I am flying from Sacramento to Chicago so i can drive to Madison, WI for a wedding of some people I don't know. Yippee.

I have not read the metioned Morgan books and will look for them and the way home from work today! Thanks!

Tales from the Bourse by David Feigenbaum, available at DLRC for a mere five bucks. It's a relatively short book but absolutely entertaining for anyone involved in the hobby. I highly recommend it.

If you have a nosy person seated next to you, open up your laptop and hit this link:

They should leave you alone after that...

Longacre

If you're interested in picking up the ladies on the plane, get this book: Link

Any books from Clive Cussler's "Dirk Pitt" series. That should keep you entertained. Have a good flight.

Hey Longacre, you really scored on that hot fudge sundea! Ever wonder what could have happened if you said one sold recently for over $100,000?

Oh, that's good.

This was a question that should have been asked one week ago, time enough to prepare. Now, you are at the mercy of whatever is at your local bookstore.

I would recommend either Illegal Tender (David Tripp) or Double Eagle (Allison Frankel), both books about the 1933 Saint, but excellent overviews of US numismatics of the 20th century. I would give the edge to the Frankel book, but both are perfect for travel and should be available at a Borders or B&N.

I was going to recommend either of those 2 books on the 1933 Double Eagle as well.

Thanks for the help. I know I should have started looking earlier but I found a couple at borders and will look for the rest so I dont run into this situation again. I need to start some coin reading so this was good info regardless of timing!

Anyone know when the Third Edition will be available?

Fountainhead

Can't you forget coins while you're on the plane? I recommend "Mason & Dixon" by Thomas Pynchon. Naval battles, navel battles, a talking dog, a supersonic duck, dope-smoking dead presidents, and a zenith sector, all for a couple of English shillings - what could be better?

Make it a short book, that's no more than 4 hrs. in the air.

blu62vette

Yea no more than 4 hours but I have afunky layover ( I didnt book the flights!) and after the flight will be in Madison, need something to do......

garsmith

I have a long flight on Friday but I am going to sleep thru most of it so that I am wide awake when my wife meets me in Manila

ModernCrapNut

Yep gar, now that is a long flight that will make your butt numb. I know you're looking forward to it though.
