I agree with you Ken. Bowers' Garrett book is one of the favorites in
my library. The history that it tells through the coins and his
correspondence is especially interesting. One that sticks out is a
price list from the mint for the early proof sets from the 1890's. As I
remember it, the "minor proof set" which included only the cent and the
nickel was listed for 8 cents!!! Can you believe it??? I need to go
back and get some of those!!!
