Coming out in December, Captain America and the Falcon, NOMAD TPB, which is the follow up to Captain America and the Falcon, Secret Empire TPB. Now those are the books to read on what made Cap GREAT!
Then there's Avengers Masterwork #1, which reprinted Avengers #4 where the Avengers defrosted Cap.
Essential Cap 1 and 2, which reprinted those cool Lee and Kirby action stories, plus Steranko's 3 part Cap versus Hydra spectacular. Wow, those 60s and 70s Cap comics were so cool and great to read.
Essential Cap 3 is coming out soon, which had that great action pack Cap versus the Grey Gargolye and I believe the Commie hating Cap of the 50s is also included, but most of those books had Cap running around bashing heads, evident of how writers didn't know what to do with Cap, which was why those Cap books in 45 to 49 failed to hold readers interest and sales.
Back issues of the Gruenwald Cap books in the 80s and early 90s aren't that expensive, so you might find that popular Cap no more issues, I think issues 320 to 350, where Steve Rogers gave up his Cap identity so that he won't become a government stooge, and John Walker became the new Captain America. That's worth reading.
Waid and Garney's first run on Cap, Operation Rebith TPB, is worth buying and reading.
