Whitman has reprinted Dave Bowers' 1964 book Coins & Collectors. It was the first coin book I read. Borrowed it from the public library in 1974.
The old books are cool for historical reference. I sent a coupon in to Whitman just to see what the coin literature was that they were going to send. I got a first edition reprint of the 1947 Redbook. The coin in my avatar went for around $3.50 in 1947.
Here are a few older publications on eBay and the reprint is also there: http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odk...rom=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=BOOK&_sacat=0 I know nothing of the seller, but because the subject came up, I posted this.
