I get mine every year from EBay seller Takas-Japan, who puts them up with a BIN price shortly after they come out. The 2007 should be out in the next month or so.
BTW anatawa nihongono tsukaikataga wakatanai hito desu, ne!

How did I miss this thread? 
The standard reference book for "Biblical" coins is
Guide to Biblical Coins by David Hendin
When you see biblical coins for auction or in catalogues, the will usually have a number, like Hendin 650.
The standard reference book for Byzantine coins is
Byzantine Coins and Their Values by David Sear
Just like biblical coins being ID'd by their Hendin book number, you'll find Byzantine coins listed as "Sear 295" or sometimes SB 295.
The standard reference book for so called "Crusader" coins is
Coins of the Crusader States by Alex G. Malloy
And as above you will see these coins ID'd, for example CCS16
For all 3 of those catagories, there are a few highly specialized reference books available, but in general, those will be the only reference books a collector would need. They can usually be had for about $60.00, you can buy directly from the authors and have the book inscribed. Make sure you buy the current editions, becuase they have all been updated.
The ultimate, must have holy grail reference book for Roman coins is
Roman Imperial Coins by Mattingly et al
This is a 10 volume set. There are some sets out there, but be prepared to pay between $1200.00 -$1500.00 for one.

My Bible is The Louis E. Eliasberg Collection of World Gold Coins and Medals by ANR in conjunction with Spink.
This was the catalogue for the World Gold Sale on April 18-19th, 2005.
It features some SENSATIONAL coins.....sensational to look at but also sensationally priced.

I just added this one
EARLY MODERN GOLD COINS From the Deutsche Bundesbank Collection
Author: Ursula Hage-Jahneke & Reinhold Walburg w/ Annelore Schmidt
Translated into English by Edward Beasly
1985
This is the third and last of three volumes on gold coins by Deutsche Bundesbank from the collection of its Geld-museum. It contains several pages of historical information regarding the coins presented. Early Modern coins presented are from 1500 thru 1800. It contains 79 Fully illustrated enlarged color Plates of gold coins with a full page detailed description for each coin. The coins also have a B/W illustration of each coin in its actual size. The coins selected were important in the development of the monetary system or interesting historically or on account of their designs.
Its a large hardcover book 9"x12" and contains over 200 pages.
It is a beautiful book if you like world gold and if your like me, always looking for detailed descriptions or history on the coins you own or are interested in.
The first two volumes are on (1) Ancient Gold and (2) Medieval Gold. I'm looking for the Volume 2.
Examples of plates: 1545 England Crown, 1557 Flander Half-real, 1586 Utrecht Ducat, 1714 Japan Kobankin, 1790 Belguim Lion d'or, 1640 France Louis d'or

Well I just recieved Volumes 1 and 2. I bought them straight from Deutsche Bundesbank ........they are identical in quality and information to the Volume 3 noted in my above post. Both books have beautiful large colored plates with very detailed coin descriptions. You don't find many reference books better than this set..... if you like world gold that is:)
Volume 1: Ancient Gold Coins
Volume 2: Gold Coins of the MIddle Ages
