... a decent copy of Bowers' American Coin Treasures and Hoards?
I believe it's long been out of print and hard to get hold of, and I had to go a long time before I got my mitts on my copy, but now that I've read it and enjoyed it, I guess I'd just as soon sell it and use the money on something else.
But I dunno what to ask for it, or even if I really should sell it. And I don't remember what I paid for it. (Considerably more than the issue price, obviously.) It's in nice shape, of course. Excellent if not like-new condition, as I recall.
I remember searching for two or three years before I finally got my hands on a copy so you'd think I'd wanna keep it, but my interests fluctuate, and there are only a few books in my library that I tend to reread more than five or six times. My interests run more to the Darkside and ancients these days. Besides, this book makes the relic hunting detectorist in me too green with envy.
I guess I could search eBay and Amazon and stuff. And eBay it if I do decide to sell, though BST might be a better venue?

What he said. Last ebay auction was $100, didn't sell though.
Sounds like if you want one, it ain't gonna be cheap.

Thanks. At that price I believe I might just part with mine. If the going price was <$40 or so, I would probably hang onto it, but I've got limited shelf space and so only keep the essentials or stuff I might reread in the near future. I can think of a better use for $80+ than sitting on my shelf collecting dust. (That's what coins are for- to sit in a box on the shelf while the box collects dust, haha.)
