Book help.

[CrazySlasher]

I've gone through the "Recommended Reading" section but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. In the next week I plan to start ordering reference books for a small library I want to put together and I could use some suggestions. Here's a list of what I'm looking for:

Buttons
Colonial Relics
Bottles
Civil/Revo War items
Indian Artifacts


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Revolutionary War - "Collector's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution" by George C. Neumann and frank J Kravic
Indian/Fur Trade - "Indian trade Relics Identification & Values" by Lar Hothem. This book is loaded with full color photos and lots of text.

On the money! You WON'T find two better books for the price! I would have gladly paid twice for each.

For buttons you really have to decide what you want to cover because no one book will do it all. I have a few and could always use more.
