How about the "NEW" Dansco 7070 that they promised over a year ago???

Karen M. Lee's The Private Sketchbook of George T. Morgan, America's Silver Dollar Artist,
then you're definitely missing out on a "must have"!
It won an "Extraordinary Merit" award from the Numismatic Literary Guild at the ANA World's Fair of Money
this year. An amazing book with lots of never-before-published information and images.
Latin American Collection
Roger Burdette's From Mine to Mint is a tour-de-force of every bit of available information about how the mints operated in the 19th century. It's a bargain at $39.95
Roger has been busy this year, putting out a lot of new books!
Doug Winter's Gold Coins of the Dahlonega Mint, 3rd Edition is a major improvement over the decade-old second edition - new information, lots of color images, etc. I've only seen it for sale at Zyrus Press so far, but it should be widely available soon, I hope.
Check out the Southern Gold Society
Q. David Bower's new book, 'The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars 1794 - 1804,' is also a good read (essentially a revised edition of part of QDB's earlier two-volume Encyclopedia).
Karl Moulton's new book, 'John J. Ford, Jr. and the Franklin Hoard,' is engrossing reading (but expensive).

Send me a PM if you're interested in a copy.

OUCH!!! Still, this is a book I'd love to have.

2/3 of the way through the Moulton book -- have absolutely enjoyed it and the photos are a real bonus. The correspondence is reproduced faithfully and a lot is left for the reader to parse out. Leaves you shaking your head at the personalities involved.
From Mine to Mint is also very solid.
