<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 5363580, member: 107435&quot;]My wife likes to say that I have entirely too many books, and I am starting to think she may be correct! In so far as numismatics, I believe my earliest references date to the 1770s, but I have much earlier numismatically related ephemera that I hope to incorporate with my ongoing research. Given my borderline &quot;book hoarder&quot; status, I will keep this somewhat short and only share my favorite books related to my main numismatic interest, the Soho Mint. These are in no particular order. I apologize in advance for the poor cellphone pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. This is, by far, my favorite Soho related publication. If you are curious about some aspect of the Soho Mint, it is probably discussed at length in this unmatched publication. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227934[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Although far inferior to Peck&#039;s work (see the next book), it is interesting to see how Montagu attempted to classify the Soho coinage. I also think it is neat to have a 127-year-old reference book for the very material I collect! </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227935[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Anyone who seriously pursues English copper, tin, or bronze coinage is likely already familiar with this one. I use this book very often. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227936[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>4. This is a fun read and offers an overall glimpse of Boulton&#039;s many industrial pursuits. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227937[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>5. This is an excellent read for those interested in the larger ramifications of the Soho Mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227938[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>6. This could serve as a good introductory read before diving into something like Doty&#039;s work. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227939[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>7. Not entirely related, but here is a recent addition that I am excited to read. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1227940[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
