and prospective authors of paper money books to exchange ideas, "tricks
of the trade," and form mutual support on the long road between conception
and publication of a worthwhile book. This Forum, in tandem with our
Society's George W. Wait Memorial Prize which supports research of book
length paper money projects, is part of SPMC's outreach to hobbyists by
supporting numismatic education. Our Author's Forum is unique in the
hobby. We invite all prospective authors and others interested in paper
money books to attend and participate in this event. As in the past,
this year's presenters' works cover a wide diversity of paper money
topics, so you should find something of interest to you. All presenters
are experienced and well known in the hobby, so I'm sure you will benefit
from their talks. Stick around to the close of the forum for a time to
meet & greet our illustrious panel."- 2007-07-01
