Here's a very good site for coin books (mostly US stuff):

http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/products/coin-books/

 

I like Bower's book. The Expert's Guide to Collecting & Investing in Rare coins.

 

If you liked the QDB book, you should also look at Scott Travers' books on this topic as well. Also, David Hall's book "A mercenary's guide".

 

Yes I have the Traver's book. Getting to that one soon. The David Hall book sounds intriguing, I may have to check that one out..

edit: just ordered it for .1 cent. $4 including shipping

 

and if you get into books not just as reference but as interesting collectibles themselves, you should check out: http://www.coinbooks.org/
