What do you have in your Numismatic Library?

I seen a post similar to this on another site and found it very interesting. One reason is it gave my a "Need to buy" list really easy, another reason is it let me know what else is out there that I did not know about. most of the books i did not know about were just recently published, or very old. Since I am working on a book dealing with old coin facts and information I love these lists as I occasionally come across a book I know nothing about.

My list I think is ok, nothing to extensive at all. For me it is large, but I know for most is it just the common stuff most collectors have. When i first started building my library I literally one a copy of every book on numismatics. Obviously that did not happen. But as my collection grew so didn't my book collection. Like most i bought books on the subjects/ coins I was concentrating on at that time.

Well here it is:
