    Just received another guide/reference book today.
    My library is now over 40 numismatic related books.

    Now, if I could only afford all the coins :rolleyes:

    I have about half of what you own. I was thinking of starting a thread on the same topic. Do you think you can list all of your books? I'm sure one of them is a Red Book!

    Please do not ask us to list our libraries. I do not have the inclination for that work. :) last count I was over 700 volumes not counting any catalogs, and I have added since then. I love books about as much as coins. I find a good book adds tremendous value to even coins you already own.

    This is a test.
    If it works then you will be able to see the contents of my library.
    Oh, and if it doesn't work, you won't.

    Hey, it worked (at least for me)!!!

    My library is quite large but small compared to some people. Many collectors have libraries that have thousands of volumes in them. I'm somewhere around 200 but I add to it consistently.

    I'm down to about 6 feet of shelf space. The rest are boxed up.

    My library is smallish compared to others.
    I don't have anything dealing with non-US material except Krause.
    I don't keep auction catalogs.

    Stack's & Bowers sent me their catalogs for their last auction.
    The three catalogs must have weighed close to 5 pounds!!!
    Beautiful, in color and on glossy paper.
    Had to cost them a bunch just for what they sent me.
    I did bid on one item (had to get the wife's permission for that one) but, not surprisingly, got outbid.
    Once the the auction was over the catalogs got put into the paper-recycle bin.
    But since I bid I may be getting more for later auctions.
    Nice to look through and dream.
