Several years ago, I was fortunate to find a wholesaler who was going out of business. I was able to pick up 29 different books on a wide range of subjects from Colonials to Peace Dollars to Gold coins to medals. Then, last year a member was selling some of his books, and I got 8 from him, also on a wide range of subjects. I have also picked up a few books by three of the authors who post on this board over the last few years, and have more in my sights. Lastly, I keep a watch on Abebooks for old and out-of-print reference books, and have scored a few there. I haven't changed my collecting direction or started anything new because of the books I have bought, but I have been doing some studying, and have some ideas for the future.
