What reference books?

    Just curious what reference books everyone uses, I'm always looking to expand my library (there are some days when I wonder if I spend more on reference books than I do actual pieces for my collection!)

    Currently my main silver reference books (non-numismatic) are:

    - Jackson's Hallmarks (the 1989 revision by Ian Pickford, not the pocket edition)

    - Miller's Encyclopedia of World Silver Marks

    With a bunch of websites and some interesting older titles with pieces from long ago that I can't hope to afford (for example, books showing old Church silver from the 1500s)

    What else should I add? I'm already planning on adding a volume for Scottish Provincial Silver here soon

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I have seen mentions here of a book by Rainwater. I don't have silver expertise, so maybe somebody else will give the full author and title.
