Books in your library

[streakert]

I am asking what books do you keep for reference, I am looking to expand my books i Have coin books but no books on buttons and relic's
yes i enjoy posting in "What Is It?" but sometimes i would just like to read and increase my knowledge.
my love for history has grown beyond just digging cool finds,
Man I love this Hobby!!

Nothing anymore. Retired from education and gave everything away so the younger folks can enjoy. Too crippled to get out anyway or walk much and besides, the BFRO has a couple of bigfoot reports near here. Too darn old to run from hairy monsters these days...

Sold or gave away all my THing books and mags but did hang onto my copy of THE OFFICIAL MILITARY ATLAS OF THE CIVIL WAR as it shows towns, roads, railroads, river crossings, along with detailed maps of many battle sites, tons of info for the alert THer and a covers the entire US during the War of Northern Aggression.

Yes a little, I just don't want to waste $ buying a book that I don't like or need,

I hear ppl talk about the Albert's button book is that worth buying

with the invention of cell phones and tablets i now keep ebooks. i enjoy basic geology, rock identification, gold recovery techniques, old maps, folk lore of the area, links to places like the USGS and Library of Congress. I dont care for Garmin but like Google earth along with several other mapping systems. Taking pictures, video, and publishing is also nice too. having google and wiki in my pocket lets me research on the fly. plus i am always on tnet and tapatalk that way. I multitask so watching the history channel, reading the forums on my laptop, and playing a game on my tablet while talking or texting on my cell phone is normal. But yes i have actual books, but they seem incomplete when I can reach out with the touch of a screen. save a tree kill a fish.

the Majority of mine is Local Histories
and Personal Research.

The older I get the less I have.

I am slowly getting rid of my Local Histories to my Nephew as I find the more I read them,
The more I realize History hasn't changed .

So they have become Dust Collectors
