Please note that some of these state catalog's date back into the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s when it was possible to publish books inexpensively. In the last 10 years very few new state catalogs have been published. These old state catalog's may be out of date but offer lot's of information about token collecting including many token descriptions, token photo's and historical notes.

One final comment! At one time I was a Coin Collector. A friend who had been collecting coins for a long time gave me this advice. "Buy the book before you buy the coin". This same advice can apply to trade token books. If you know of a token book not on this list please let me know.
