Interesting Books Pt. II: 'B'

Sonorandesertrat

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 'B,' below. There are many areas that I have no expertise in and would like to learn more about, especially post-1960 Mint issues, currency, and various types of exonumia. What can you add to this list? I will put up a 'C' list in a few days, followed at intervals by lists until 'Z' is reached. The 'A' list appeared on 2/27/2016.

No, she has hinted that my books should be kept where she keeps her dressage horses (in a barn!). I moved the bulk of my book collection to a rental storage bay last fall.

Wow!
