<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1779171, member: 41863&quot;]Are Q. David Bowers&#039; books worth the money and the reads? I see he&#039;s publishing a lot of books for Whitman (and just in general I guess) and I was wondering if they were worth buying and reading. </p><p><br /></p><p>We discuss books up here quite a bit and if you were to go into a current hobby shop or book store like Books A Million, etc you would find the shelves filled with several of Bowers&#039; books on numismatics. They are quite honestly the prevailing books available in a current, updated fashion that actually make it to store shelves. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess my question is are these the &#039;books&#039; we need to be reading if we are seeking in depth information and looking to get a little deeper in the world of numismatics, or should they not be taken seriously. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have an opinion on Bowers and just want to know that he is providing solid and sound information and its worth my time and money to read some of his works. </p><p><br /></p><p>Two of his books in particular caught my eye:</p><p><br /></p><p>A Guidebook of United States Type Coins</p><p><br /></p><p>and</p><p><br /></p><p>The Expert&#039;s Guide to Collecting &amp; Investing in Rare Coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone recommend either of these?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
