Are there any books that focus on Liberty quarter eagle coins ? I'm aware of general books like the encyclopedia of gold coins by guth and Garrett. Also the winter books focusing on the charolette and dahlonega mints. Thanks

No problem. Another good read is Doug Winter's website. Doug wrote the four branch mint gold books you referenced in the OP. In addition to the books, his website has a lot of his informal writing in the blogs/articles section, for example:
Sample DWN Article
His articles are tagged, so if you can find one quarter eagle article, you can then click the "quarter eagles" tag near the bottom before the comments to find more articles quickly.

He also writes up informative blurbs on every coin he sells. Even if I am not a buyer for whatever reason (grade/price/already sold/etc.), I read every blurb on any coin in the series I collect.
Happy reading!

I own the Akers books but don't be surprised when you purchase them that there is one page per issue with info that is relevant but often outdated and then with a series of sales noted for each. They are excellent for provenance research but if you are looking for something more insightful on today's market or availability, you may be disappointed.

Thank you ! Articles very helpful
Other than Doug Winter, I have written the most on Liberty Head Quarter Eagles. I have always liked them. Is anyone collecting the whole series? The collector known as "Richmond" was doing so for a substantial period of time. DLRC auctioned his gold coins during the summer of 2004 in New York. I covered that event for Numismatic News newspaper.
