<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1475207, member: 19065&quot;]I&#039;d suggest any books that catch your interest even if&nbsp; it&#039;s a remote interest about something you don&#039;t necessarily see yourself as a collector of, yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, I don&#039;t really collect Colonial notes but I have an interest in them, their history and the money of that era. So a terrific book that I think any US paper money collector would also enjoy, at least for the history if not for being a tremendous reference book, is <a href="http://www.coinworld.com/articles/eric-p-newman-reflects-on-life-looks-ahead/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinworld.com/articles/eric-p-newman-reflects-on-life-looks-ahead/" rel="nofollow">Eric Newman</a>&#039;s, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Early-Paper-Money-America/dp/089689326X" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Early-Paper-Money-America/dp/089689326X" rel="nofollow">The Early Paper Money of America.</a></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Early-Paper-Money-America/dp/089689326X" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Early-Paper-Money-America/dp/089689326X" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>Another title that I recommend for the history of banking and how it&nbsp; affected the money and it&#039;s forms, the various Act of Congress that you&nbsp; see noted on early notes in the United States, a book which you may not&nbsp; find at a coin show readily, is Jason Goodwin&#039;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Greenback-Almighty-Dollar-Invention-America/dp/1559278560/ref=sr_1_sc_6?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1340832839&amp;sr=1-6-spell&amp;keywords=the+almightly+dollar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Greenback-Almighty-Dollar-Invention-America/dp/1559278560/ref=sr_1_sc_6?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1340832839&amp;sr=1-6-spell&amp;keywords=the+almightly+dollar" rel="nofollow">Greenback: The Almightly Dollar and the Invention of America.</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s an easy read, very entertaining actually, and I thought&nbsp; interesting as written by an English guy making observations of a survey&nbsp; of US political and financial history.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
