I recently reviewed the book Coins and Collectors - Golden Anniversary Edition by Q. David Bowers for the website at coinshowradio.com. If you like to check it out and give me your feedback, I'd appreciate it. http://www.coinshowradio.com/archives/970
Great review, makes me want to read it. Guess I'm only left with one question after reading your review; are the photos/illustrations in color or black and white?
I just ordered a copy from Amazon. I read that book in 1974 (public library) and have been a Bowers fan ever since.
