Identification Books - are they worth purchasing?

[goldnrelics]

I have a redbook, but there is very little detail on colonial and early foreign coins

Is; "Colonial and Early American coins, by Bowers" Worth a purchase?, or perhaps the Standard Catalog by Krause? or should i stick to just using the internet?

Thanks

The Bowers book is DEFINITELY worth getting, very good book. There are some typos' but a separate sheet came with mine correcting them, don't know if there has been a newer printing with the errors corrected.

Thanks, like the typical variety's. Is what i am looking for more information on, and non regal ones. I think i might have to invest in that book, would love to hear what others have to say. Bowers has very good books. Curious about the Kraus Standard Catalogs as well for Foreign coinage. If that's worth a purchase as well. Thanks for your input cutler.
