<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 24604071, member: 74282"]My library is in a bit of a state of disarray at the moment. Ever since our son got here and my wife gave up her craft room to turn it into a nursery we have to split remaining shelf space, so most auction catalogues stay boxed up in the basement in storage but I do keep the more important references around. Crawford, RBW and HCRI get the most use but all are useful. Also represented are a few private printings and things I've picked up over the years. I'll also take a moment to mention Spring's wonderful book on Ancient Coin Auction Catalogues 1880-1980, highly recommended if you love catalogues!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1563407[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1563408[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have this.
