Most of what is out there is crap but I did find a couple of books and bought them.</font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri"><br /></font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">The first one is called: How to Be a Successful Coin Dealer. Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers &amp; Merena Galleries, 1988. It was written by non-other than Q. David Bowers. There is no “gem” information in the book but if you can find a copy (they are hard to come by) he does present some good ideas. Some are outdated as it was written in 1988 but the principles are sound. The book was originally a column that Mr. bowers wrote in a magazine, it was later collected and turned into a book. They can get pricey!</font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri"><br /></font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">The second one is called: Tales from the Bourse by David Lawrence. It was presented to me as a how to guide but turned out to be a collection of short stories written about his experiences. It was a fun read and I enjoyed it but there is not much there in the way of advice or technique.</font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri"><br /></font></span></font></p><p><font size="3"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Calibri">The third book is one I recently bought as it was just completed. It is called RARE COINS, RARE PEOPLE- Biography of Leon &amp; Ruhama. For those of you who do not know, Leon is Leon Hendricks of Silver Town. I bought it thinking I could glean something out of it and I was curious as how Leon built up his company so big. It is marked as a Biography and that is exactly what it is. It was a little dry at times but I enjoyed it. There are no gems of wisdom in there that I remember though I do recall highlighting a few passages. </font></span></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
