ANA LIBRARY NOTES
The September 1999 issue of The Numismatist contains
this note of interest to bibliophiles on page 1067: "ANA
Member James Bixler, a certified appraiser and rare book
dealer, has prepared a preliminary bibliography of the ANA
Library's rare books. To acquaint readers with the richness
and variety of the ANA's holdings, this column regularly
highlights one of these fine publications."The month's featured book was donated by J. Roy Pennell,
Jr. - "Acts and Laws of His Majesty's Province of the
Massachusets-Bay in New England", 1743. Some of the
interesting non-numismatic laws include an "Act for the
Relief of Idiots and Distracted Persons." Does that include
bibliomaniacs...?As Librarian Nawana Britenriker noted in her presentation
to NBS at the recent ANA convention, bibliophiles can
help support the library's efforts by joining FOLIS (Friends
of the Library/Libris in Socii). For details, contact Nawana
