Interesting Books

I am in the process of indexing my collection of numismatic books related to U.S. numismatics, and have noted what I have, written by authors whose last names begin with 'A,' below. There are many areas that I have no expertise in and would like to learn more about. What can you add to this list? I will put up a 'B' list in a few days, followed at intervals by lists until 'Z' is reached.

    No way, I will have to get started on auction catalogs, runs of numismatic periodicals, pamphlets, and misc. next.image

    On second thought, if you let me pick out a few nice 'souvenirs,' I might think about it.image

    Wish I had your enthusiasm to tackle that as I get flustered and just walk away.



    You could probably walk away with items I don't even know I have as I find new discoveries all the time of stuff I don't remember purchasing.

    I am doing this because I don't even know what I have. For about the third time in the last couple of years, I have purchased a copy of a book or catalog that I already owned.

    My shop is a mess. A friend from Chile brought me a wine and the mailman just brought me my newest hardbound. I'll refer to it as the "Book 'em Denno" Edition.

    Not to hijack your thread friend. To enhance it.
