Sometimes we read a book and don't give it much thought and then when we pick it up again we realize how special it is. What numismatic book made more of an impression on you the second time you read it ?

Cornelius Vermeule's "Numismatic Art in America" is excellent on first reading and gets better and better with each subsequent visit.
I had to buy another copy after my first one started to fall apart (after too much use).

Bust Half Fever by Edgar Souders
Most of my library are reference books. I refer to them often but never sit down and read them. They're like dictionaries.
Souders book is an exception. It tells a wonderful story you can read, and reread, like a novel.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

There have been some, but apparently I didn't appreciate them enough to remember what they were to answer this question.
I guess I'll have to go reread some of my favorites a third or fourth time.
