20) Bibliography
All coin collectors should have a numismatic library for reference and research. Below are my selections. Of course each collector will find different books of interest. In my opinion, Breen's massive work, Bowers book on design types, the "Red Book" and "Photograde" are musts for type collectors. They are highlighted in bold.
