Must Reads while on break

Haven’t posted in a while and I hope everyone is doing well.
So I started reading, “From Mine to Mint” again and boy does it answer a lot of questions that I think about as I move further into this hobby.
Page 312 would surely be a nice visual for YN who are wondering if their coin is doubled or not.
Can anyone recommend and other “educational material” to read through and study on this extended break

Go to the Wizard Coin Supply website--they carry lots of books.
Try:
Bowers, QD/A Guide Book of The United States Mint
Smith, P, Orosz, JJ & Augsburger, L/1792: Birth of a Nation’s Coinage
Bowers, QD/Coins and Collectors: Golden Anniversary Edition
The next book is out of print (try Amazon.com or Abebooks):
Martin, JP/Detecting Counterfeit and Altered U.S. Coins [ANA correspondence course book]
RMR: 'Wer, wenn ich schriee, hörte mich denn aus der Engel Ordnungen?'
CJ: 'No one!' [Ain't no angels in the coin biz]
That is a great book for understanding the entire process that brings us our coins... As far as other books, there are so many....as recommended above, check some coin sites, or go to a major show...After a while, you will have a 'coin library', as so many of us have....Cheers, RickO
Cannot get any new books unfortunately so back to "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
I finished The Sun Also Rises last week. Currently on Pride and Prejudice. Next will be Dune. I do have a stack of coin related books too that I will probably peruse for something different now and again.

Mockingbird has the 1900 and 1906 Indian Cents in the tree outside the Radley lot. I give out a roll of 1900 and 1906 Indians each year to my students for exceptional performances on quizzes or tests.
