ASYLUM ARRIVING AFTER DELAY
Tom Fort writes: "The latest Asylum issue was mailed last
Thursday. We had some problems due to my using a new
computer (they did not have the latest version of Quark yet),
and there were some questions regarding the member
addresses. All of these have been solved and everyone
should be getting the latest issue any day."Dick Johnson writes: "My Summer 2003 issue of The Asylum
arrived today with the lead article on me. Kindly express my
appreciation to NBS President and author Pete Smith.Also my appreciation to Tom Fort for running my picture on
the cover. I like the gryphons and putti -- nice touch! -- and
you choose the print of me wearing the ivy crown. I think this
print shows my hair length just about right length but I see now
that my toga is one size too large. Thanks!"[NBS members will get the joke when they see the cover of
the issue. The rest of you, well, we hope some of you will
choose to become members of our organization. Only paid-up
members receive issues of our print journal, The Asylum. The
latest issue leads off with Dick Johnson's recollections (as told
to Pete Smith) of his start in numismatics and creation of Coin
World and other numismatic publications. Other interesting
articles include David Lange's essay on "Ghostwriting in
Numismatics" (reprinted with permission from the Numismatic
Literary Guild Newsletter), Joel Orosz' Printer's Devil column,
"Bowers, Books, and Bloviation," George Frederick Kolbe's
notes on "A Rare Vellum Edition of Andrea Fulvio's Illustrium
Imagines," Pete Smith's President's Message, and editor E.
Tomlinson Fort's "Numismatic Literature Bibliography, 2000-
2003." Editor]- 2003-11-30
