Saint Gaudens Books?

SleepyGold

I was wondering if anyone had any good books to suggest on Saint Gaudens in particular. My main interest is in the Double Eagle series but anything would be interesting. Also any good books on Pre-1933 gold are always appreciated.

Currently I have:

A Handbook of 20th Century United States Gold Coins - 2nd Edition by David Akers.
Encyclopedia of US Gold Coins 1795-1933 - 2nd Edition by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth
Double Eagle by Alison Frankel
Illegal Tender by David Tripp
The Coinage of Augustus Saint Gaudens as Illustrated by the Phillip H. Morse Collection. (Really enjoy this one).

Thanks Everyone!

Augustus Saint-Gaudens: American Sculptor of the Gilded Age

I have a "coffee table" book titled "The Work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens" by John H. Dryhout published by University Press of New England in 1982. This lists all of his known sculptures. Pages 280-287 cover his coinage designs.

If you're interested in the genesis of the design, then you'll want the first volume of Roger Burdette's astonishing three-volume series, Renaissance of American Coinage.

The Stack's/Sotheby auction catalog of the "legal" 1933 Saint is a very interesting read. Disclosure: I sell these catalogs

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Striking Change: The Great Artistic Collaboration of Theodore Roosevelt and Augustus Saint-Gaudens
won a Numismatic Literary Guild award. It's by Michael Moran (currently a member of the Treasury's Citizens
Coinage Advisory Committee), with a foreword by Henry J. Duffy, curator of the Saint-Gaudens National Historic
Site in Cornish, New Hampshire, and an introduction by Q. David Bowers.

I recommend the Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins: A Complete History and Price Guide by Q. David Bowers published by Whitman. It covers all double eagles, 1849-1933.

The only problem with this book is that it was written in 2004 and has not been updated, unlike many others in the Guide Book series, so the prices and population data are useless.
