Leonard D. Augsberger published "The Numismatic Works of Fred Reinfeld: A Biography and Bibliography" in the November-December 2000 issue of Rare Coin Review (#138).

"Although the name of Fred Reinfeld is not in the forefront of American numismatics today, decades ago he played a very important part in the popularization of the hobby. His books about rare coins were sold widely and received a very appreciative audience."

Numismatic bibliophiles may not be aware that Reinfeld is also "considered the most prolific author of American chess books, with over 200 titles to his credit.... Reinfeld's strength as a chess author was his ability to explain abstract ideas in layman's terms."

Augsberger's article details information on all of Reinfeld's nineteen numismatic works, including population data derived from numismatic literature auctions and fixed price lists.
