    I definitely read hobby books.  I've read the Red Whitman guide books when I worked at the brick and mortar for Lincoln Cents, Morgan Dollars, Double Eagles and your Peace Dollar book, Roger.  I don't even collect any of those coins and I enjoyed reading about them!  As for my own personal collecting pursuit, I'm looking for a book that is harder to find than the coins I'm seeking!!! I just cant find a copy of the third volume (the old third volume, not the new one on Hadrian) of the Roman Imperial Coinage to save my life!!! I also have the Aorta reference for Roman coins right on my bedside table right now.  I dig into that one frequently.
    I have been a collector for more than 10 years. I inherited this element from my father, and he from his father. You could say it has been a hobby for generations. I also love to read, recently read "the faerie queene", used https://freebooksummary.com/category/the-faerie-queene for that. Because of that, I also started collecting them. Now I'm on the lookout for something beyond old. Ready to pay any money. I think I will give up coins and start doing books, but that is unlikely.

    I, too, am on the lookout for books that are appreciated
