THE BIBLIOGRAPHY PROCESS

Larry Mitchell, compiler of the NBS General Numismatic Bibliography, writes:

Your bibliographer would like to thank Tom Fort for offering some excellent suggestions apropos to our sections on Dark Ages and Anglo-Saxon Coinages (several of Tom's suggested titles will shortly be incorporated into these sections as an update).

Suggestions as to additions/updates/corrections are ALWAYS welcome from EVERYONE (don't let the fact that you may be a "newbie" to our hobby make you shy!). I can't guarantee that your suggestion(s) will make my "final cut", but I will guarantee that ALL suggestions will be seriously reviewed for possible inclusion. (I usually consider hundreds of titles for each section, then pare the final selection down to no more than a dozen titles [so as not to overwhelm folks new to the hobby] ).

Your updates/additions/corrections should be addressed to either myself directly (ldmitchell@qnet.com) or to Wayne (whomren@coinlibrary.com), who will in turn direct them to me.

Keep in mind that our audience is predominantly English- speaking, so titles in the English language are what we're focused on.

Where am I headed next? Well, my roadmap, in a very rough way (there having been to date numerous digressions, shortcuts, wrong turns, etc., along the way), is Clain-Stefanelli's excellent NUMISMATIC BIBLIOGRAPHY. Of course, much has been published in the 15 years since this wonderful work came out, so the opportunities to make helpful suggestions are numerous. (Published titles on Celtic coinage, for example, didn't really "explode" till after Van Arsdell reinvigorated this specialty with his now-standard-reference CELTIC COINAGE OF BRITAIN in 1989.) So, turn to C/S page 523 and pray that I don't start heading the wrong way down a one-way street… :-)
