  BOOK ENVY: THICKEST NUMISMATIC TOME?
  

  Pete Smith writes: "I recently acquired a thick new book.
  As I looked around my library this appeared to be the
  thickest book in my collection. This got me wondering if
  it is the thickest numismatic book ever published.
  

  May I suggest that E-Sylum readers report their suggestions
  for thickest book based on number of pages. Perhaps later
  we will establish categories such as American or foreign,
  antiquarian or modern, etc.
  

  I will withhold my title until we get a few more submissions.
  Let's start the bidding at a thousand pages. Can anyone
  beat that?"
  

  [I have my own guess as to which book Pete is referring
  to. I told the author at the recent ANA convention, "it
  takes a big man to write a big book!" It weighs in at
  1,041 numbered pages.
  

  My shelves hold two volumes though, each of which is
  nearly twice as thick as that one, . But they may not meet
  Pete's criteria. They are the 1980 and 1981 volumes of
  The Numismatist, each bound in a ridiculously large single
  volume. I purchased them as part of a uniformly-bound
  partial set.
  

  So, E-Sylum readers, what are your nominations for
  thickest numismatic book? -Editor]
