What is your favorite Numismatic Reference Book

What is your favorite reference book and why? I have been looking at some of my "special" books and wondering just how extensive other collectors book accumulations are and why they purchase a particular book.


Mine has to be the Bust Halve Fever book from Edgar Souders. (Sorry Frank)

Edgar has put together one special very well put together knowledge base that is second to none in the bust half series. Its not for attributing halves just a GREAT overview on the history, minting, techniques and general knowledge of the series. Anyone who collects or is thinking of collecting should have this book!
