That's funny, I've got the 1976 edition of the Redbook on my library shelf. It's was a gift from my parents when I was 10 years old.

I have 11,000 which ones do you want to know about? And the ones I don't have Karl does

My favorites are my QDBs and my original Crosby.

Where do you keep them???......11k books???? That's a bunch!!!!

You keep 11K books, catalogues, fixed price lists, and periodicals in covered boxes so you don't have to remember what they are....at least I keep my 11K stored that way in storage sheds. That's because there's absolutely no more room in the house.

Fortunately, the older catalogues (pre-1940) are much thinner and you can usually store an entire run of cataloguers in one or two large plastic bags. Naturally, the special ones (Plated, Priced & Named, Bidbooks, etc.) are stored in individual plastic bags and boards.

At least I don't save the mailing envelopes like other bibliophiiles I know who reside in Ill. and Cal.

Anyone have any small format plated Chapman's available? PM if you do.

2 shelves full. mainly Commems (every reference), and at least one reference for each series I collect from 2-centers through my favorite, the Wayne Miller (autographed) silver dollar tome . . .

Very nice collection both of you.

Mine is somewhat smaller. I will try to get a pic tonight.

Mostly gold books, counterfeit detection book and some good ones like snows flying eagle book.

edited, I used to have a floor to ceiling book case full of auction catalogs. I recycled all of them. Just too much to think about.

<< This is the main section. I did not include pics of the mountains of auction catalogs. What does yours look like? As you can see, there is a preference for QDB material:

And to ward off Consuela, I am blowing this up to 11x17 and posting copies throughout the house

Just an awesome collection, Longacre!!!!!!

I have a subscription to coins, I collect Redbooks, and I have Photograde & ANA Grading Standards.

In my house I have 8 7-8 foot bookcases, my home office is full, my attic is full, and 2 rooms at my office are full. And I'm starting to trade instead of just buying. And yes I know I shouldn't put them in the attic, but if I get divorced I won't be able to afford any more books (or coins).

Goldbully, I like that library. Looks quite useful.

What numismatic books/catalogs are on your library shelf??
