    Must read book on Civil War Tokens
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2013*

Anyone that has an interest in Civil War tokens simply must read this book.  Dave Bowers is, arguably, one of, if not the most important figures in numismatic literature today, and probably for as long as books about numismatics have been written.  This isn't your simple, "Oh, this is a Civil War token and here are the varieties".  That information is in this wonderful book, but more importantly, the why, how, where of their story.  It is the history of a small piece of what happened during that time that many people don't know about or know very little.  I've personally collected CWTs for years, thought I had a fairly good knowledge of them.  This book showed me just how little I really knew.Simply put, not enough can be said about this book.  It should be on every book shelf of anyone interested in collecting them, or just interested in aspects of the Civil War that are not well known.Is there any aspect of numismatics that Dave Bowers does not know in detail?  I think not and we are truly blessed to have him share his wonderful knowledge and gift with us all.Buy this book.

    My Favorite Book on Civil War Tokens
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 21, 2013*

If you have even just a passing curiosity in Civil War Tokens, you must buy this book. It is far and away the best and most beautiful reference on this topic ever written. Your very modest expenditure will be rewarded with:* thousands of color photographs of CWT, most at 50% enlargement* Highly entertaining, informative and comprehensive sections on the history of money just before and during the Civil War, as well as a history of cataloging and collecting Civil War Tokens.* Current value estimates for thousands of Civil War Tokens in different grades* Much CWT information not previously publishedMost importantly this compact but weighty volume gives the reader a real feel for the series and piques one's collecting enthusiasm in a way that only Q. David Bowers can.
