<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1779212, member: 41863&quot;]I guess I need to reframe my question in this light. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is Bowers a credible resource overall? Is his information fairly accurate and advice generally sound?</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a bit difficult to define your own resources sometimes and you might choose the wrong book and then be utilizing false or faulty information. </p><p><br /></p><p>My gut is telling me that his info is solid and any information not previously known is worth every penny of the book, however I&#039;m just trying to verify that what I read from Bowers isn&#039;t intentionally wrong advice or that his books are just for the sake of writing books. </p><p><br /></p><p>We all know we shouldn&#039;t take Detectos advice on many subjects, but what if he wrote a coin book full of faulty information and as a new collector his was the first book I used for my reference. I would then be using terrible information for my foundation and I&#039;m just asking the community about a well known numismatist and author of whom I know very little to reassure myself I&#039;m taking steps in the right direction. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and to anyone cruising by the thread. Feel free to name drop some books that you could find at a local Books or Barnes that is worth the money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
