MORE NON-U.S. SUBMISSIONS SOUGHT
Ferdinando Bassoli writes (from Italy): "Don't you have
European associates and subscribers as I am? The vast
majority (99%) of your contributions to the Bulletin and the
weekly newsletter is dedicated, as it is only correct, to
USA and American contributions, but I cannot often find
a single item dedicated to European and classic argument.
Cannot you give an eye to this side of Atlantic bibliomania
and satisfy your readers (I don't know how many, but they
could increase.). Is this a lack of interest? Do you wish
correspondence from our (and my) part? Best regards."[My reply:
"Thank you for your note. Many of our subscribers are
from outside of the U.S., and we do hear from them on
occasion, but as you note, the majority of our submissions
do tend to be U.S.-centric. I publish nearly every submission
received. There is no intention to focus only on U.S.
numismatics, but that is the tendency of our submitters.
When I write items of my own, these are usually on U.S.
matters since this is what I am most familiar with. But
submissions on other areas of numismatic literature and
research are welcome and encouraged." As it happens,
we do have several items on non-U.S. topics this week.
Time will tell which way our future submissions will lead.
