ON BECOMING A MEMBER
Bob Metzger writes: "For years, I have listened to National
Public Radio. It's always been a sort of refuge for me, a
familiar place no matter where my physical location happens
to be. Thus, wherever I have lived, I have supported my
local NPR station by both becoming a member, and serving
as a volunteer when possible. I can, of course, listen to the
radio whether or not I make a financial contribution, but I
do get some tangible membership benefits, like a newsletter,
merchant discounts, and advance invitations to certain events.
And it may seem corny, but I also feel a certain satisfaction
of being part of an organization that improves the quality
of life.I've been a Numismatic Bibliomania Society member for
probably 15 years, and have enjoyed the E-Sylum for as
long as it has been in existence. I could, of course, receive
the E-Sylum without ever having joined NBS, but I have
always found the quarterly print journal packed with
interesting articles and fascinating facts that are beyond
the scope of the weekly electronic newsletter. And once
again, I also feel a certain satisfaction of being part of an
organization that improves the quality of life.Do you also enjoy the E-Sylum? Would you like to be a
part of the organization that makes it possible? Please
join us today!"Bill Murray writes: "Congratulations to editors Tom Fort
and David Fanning on the first-rate Fall issue of The Asylum.
All you readers of this email newsletter, The E-Sylum, who
are not members of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society
are missing a good thing. The latest issue of The Asylum
offers you news of NBS in President Pete Smith's message;
a fine article, "Seven Steps to Protect Your Library" by
Doug Andrews; "Genealogical Methods in Numismatic
Research," by Leonard Augsburger; a story of a neat
(should I say, "cool") acquisition, "What People Put on
eBay," by Stephen B. Pradier; a fun piece by David
Fanning, "Hidden Treasures in Old Literature"; and an
annual index of The Asylum which proves what you've
missed by not joining NBS. Join up!"[As described at the end of each E-Sylum issue, the
