       This is a partial list of books I own as originals or as photo copies (most entries indicate which) on topics more related to collecting as opposed to pure history, though there is obviously some overlap. The collectors’ guides with substantial history are more likely to be included in both bibliographies. 

        It is not a complete list of available titles on the various subjects. This list was created and arranged for my ease of use and follows no specific bibliographic form. This document and the information herein is provided for your convenience and is not to be copied, duplicated, scanned, photographed or reproduced in any way in whole or part without my written permission.
