KOLBE TO PUBLISH JACK COLLINS' 1794 DOLLAR MANUSCRIPT

Last week Alan Weinberg wrote: "... George Kolbe will be this
year publishing Jack Collins' 1794 dollar manuscript 'as is'
with pictures missing, etc..."

George Kolbe writes: "Alan Weinberg's description of the upcoming
publication of Jack Collins' manuscript on 1794 dollars may be
technically correct but could be misleading to some. Jack's book
WILL BE ILLUSTRATED with good quality enlargements of all but a
few of the 1794 dollars described therein. The price will probably
be $65.00 postpaid and the edition will be limited to the number
of orders received. An order form will be sent out with our
November 1 auction catalogue featuring the John J. Pittman library
and other notable consignments. Information will also be posted
on our web site: www.numislit.com and we will be happy to send
an order form to anyone requesting same."

 ALAN V. WEINBERG'S 2007 MILWAUKEE ANA CONVENTION REVIEW

[My apologies to George for not having a chance to confirm the
details before publishing the reference to Jack's book.  I've
fined myself half of my last week's E-Sylum editor's salary.
But I'm delighted to hear that Jack's manuscript will at long
last see the light of day, and look forward to adding a copy
to my library.

I remember very well the first time I met Jack in the company
of numismatic literature dealer John Bergman.  John and his wife
Mary were wonderful hosts to me on a visit to Los Angeles.
John showed me his library and when Jack joined us we all went
out to dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant.  Later we toured
the Queen Mary docked in Long Beach harbor.  Jack and John have
both passed on, and are dearly missed by the bibliophile
community.  -Editor]
