Alan David Workman
is a full-time online bookseller specializing in numismatic, military, and treasure
hunting-related auction catalogs, books, and magazines for the discerning collector
or casual hobbyist. This online bookshop started from a deep passion of collecting
reference material for the purpose of identifying pieces of historic militaria and
rare coins discovered through the fascinating hobby of metal-detecting. Knowing
how hard it is to assemble a reference collection for this hobby was the driving
force behind developing this site to help other collectors get the references they
need.
Our general inventory is a good mix of auction catalogs, books, and magazines, with an emphasis on hard-to-find vintage auction catalogs of rare coins and fine militaria. Our book inventory is tailored toward militaria research, military unit research and identification of military uniforms, equipment, firearms, ordinance, and accoutrement. Also included in our book inventory are selections on numismatic identification as well as selections on treasure, buried treasure, sunken treasure, shipwrecks, salvage, and general treasure hunting how-to. Our magazine inventory is richly stocked with a nice variety of back issues on treasure hunting, buried treasure, sunken treasure, shipwrecks, and relic hunting. We hope that the reference works you find on this site will be useful in your personal library. Keep this site bookmarked and check back often, as we are constantly buying collections and adding new material to the site as soon as it can be cataloged. If you have a collection of similar material for sale, we would be happy to make an offer for your collection. Mr. Workman is a member of the American Numismatics Association (ANA), Florida United Numismatists (FUN) and Numismatics International (NI). Mr. Workman has been a metal-detecting hobbyist for over 26 years and a reference collector for over 15 years. He has 6 years experience as an Environmental Geologist and over 5 years experience as a Software Engineer. Mr. Workman is a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) which makes him a familiar face to anyone who has attended the booth of coin dealer Daniel Frank Sedwick at the ANA or FUN shows over the past several years. Mr. Workman also holds two Bachelor of Science degrees from Florida State University. He is a frequent poster on the Treasure Depot (“Lil Al”). Currently, I have several titles selling at auction on eBay under the names of “Kingofcobs” (numismatics) and “Workmansbooks” (books and auction catalogs).
