COIN WORLD "BUY THE BOOK" ARTICLE
Dick Johnson writes: "Kudos to Michele Orzano for the
Coin World article on numismatic books this week. As brief
as it was it covered the field brilliantly -- listing eight online
book sources, five specialist dealers, all NBS members --
in addition to mention of Numismatic Bibliomania Society and
especially E-Sylum's allure. Expect a bump in our ratings with,
perhaps, new members and subscribers. What Orzano
overlooked, however, was mention that most NBS book
dealers have their auction lists available on the net in addition
to printed format."The issue also caught the eye of our Secretary-Treasurer,
W. David Perkins, who writes: "For those who have not seen
it yet, the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (NBS) was
referenced twice in the Monday, July 26, 2004 issue of
Coin World. The first mention was as part of an article on
page 16 by Michele Orzano titled "Buy book before coin /
Web sites offer collectors opportunities to add to personal
numismatic libraries." Six paragraphs under the heading
"Book club" were dedicated to NBS, including membership
information.The second mention was in Q. David Bowers "The Joys of
Collecting" (column), page 46. This week's column was
titled "The published word / Out-of-print books contain
wealth of info." David's suggestion, "If you like collecting
literature, write out a check for $15 ($20 if you do not live
in North America) to the Numismatic Bibliomania Society"..Good advice David! Thanks from the Numismatic
Bibliomania Society for this recommendation. Many
bibliophiles must agree - lately, NBS has been receiving
many new membership applications. E-Sylum subscribers,
if you are not already a member we encourage you to join
today.[As always, instructions for joining appear at the end of
this issue. -Editor]- 2004-07-18
