Sort of make your own coin book. By this I mean you could make a book or books based on what you want to have in it for your reference and not a pile of stuff you are not interested in. It's really easy. You acquire some 3 ringed binders and just print out posts from right here or other coin web sites. Eventually your'll need an index since there is really a lot of info right here. I'm up to several books like this now and all info I want, not a pile of stuff people put into some books to take up space so they can charge you more. </p><p>As to computer software. Just use Excel. Some have used those many programs for coins out there but most just use Excel. One reason is the piles of info on that program available everywhere.
