I am fascinated by Hobo Nickels and was wondering if any of you know where I could buy a book on them?

I have searched and they just don't seem easy to come by. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Exist 3 books about Hobo Nickels :

Stephen P. Alpert. Hobo Nickel Guidebook. 2001, 122 pages.
( available contacting OHNS at www.hobonickels.org)


Delma K. Romines. Hobo Nickels. Newberry Park, CA: Lonesome John Publishing Co., 1982, 106 pages.

Joyce Ann Romines. Hobo Carvings: An Exclusive Upgrade of Hobo Nickel Artistry. 1996, 108 pages.


the 1982 and 1996 are hard to find .
