NUMIMATIC BIBLOMANIA
A piece of ephemera I came across in my library this week
reminded me of our recent discussion of typos in numismatic
literature. It's a sign I saved from the 1989 American
Numismatic Association convention in Pittsburgh. It hung
above the Numismatic Bibliomania Society table. The sign
reads "NUMIMATIC BIBLOMANIA"Someone added the missing letters by hand. It was an endless
source of amusement among bibliophiles. So ... does anyone
recall who stood on a chair and corrected the sign? Come
forward and claim your spelling prize.- 2002-06-23
