  SAINT-GAUDENS BOOK COMES HOME
  

  An article by Roger Collum in the October 28, 2002 issue
  of Coin World describes his bookstore find of a book once
  owned and signed by sculptor and coin designer Augustus
  Saint-Gaudens. With his help the book was purchased by
  the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, NH.
  The 1881 volume is the first volume in the series on the
  British Museum's collection of "Coins of the Ancients",
  edited by Barclay Head. Inside is written "purchased from
  C. de Kay /1885 / Augustus St Gaudens (signed)"
  

  On Collum's advice the owner of the Vermont bookstore
  where he found the volume subsequently sold it to
  superintendent John Dryfout on behalf of the Historic Site.
  Dryfout is the author of several books on the sculptor.
