Message from the President
By Tom Harrison

Greetings and welcome to the winter issue of your award-winning journal, The Asylum. Today, as an increasing number of collectors pursue an ever greater portion of their collecting experience online, it is vital to be mindful of the significance of our person-to-person connectivity. Unquestionably, the internet is a valuable tool for research and for bonding with fellow bibliophiles. However, it cannot replace the memories created by spending a day visiting a friend’s library and recounting our collecting experiences. Nor can it replace the benefits of attending NBS sponsored events at an ANA Convention while linking up with old friends and making new acquaintances.

When long-time collectors reflect on their collecting journey, they frequently relate that the thrill of the hunt or the satisfaction of achieving a defined goal are secondary to the friendships and personal experiences enjoyed over the years. By sharing our enthusiasm for numismatic literature with fellow bibliophiles, we not only exponentially enhance our own collecting experience, but we also strengthen the foundation of our hobby. As we look forward to 2018, will you please join me in keeping a watchful eye for opportunities to build personal connections with your fellow NBS members? May your numismatic library provide investigation, discovery and most of all, enjoyment.
