Question for the Draped Bust Dollar people

pursuitofliberty

Last time I asked this kind of question I picked a couple of members who I knew specialized in the series and PM'd my questions (with excellent results BTW).

But with Draped Bust Dollars, I am not sure who here to ask, so I'll ask it in a thread;

What is (are) the "essential" reference(s) for the series?

I want to build up my lbrary a little more, and any input on the better references would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The two that everyone attributes to are Bolender and Bowers-Borckardt.

That second one some people think is worth moon money.
