I agree with the ACC and would add it as #8 on the list. When you first get one you'd think that it's quaint, but why do you need it... and you don't. But eventually you'll want to look at the little cards from a grander perspective. The ACC gets you there.
I have the Slocum book. It's ok. I haven't looked inside the covers in maybe 4 years.
I read The Card. Glad I read it. The author got a few of his facts wrong, and some of his inferences and beliefs are wrong. While entertaining, it would be misleading for someone who doesn't know a right smart about old cards. If someone new to old cards reads that book they should consider it fiction.
