The Numismatic Bibliomania Society mailing list continues to grow; we're up to 95 names. Our Press Release was printed in Coin World this week, so I wouldn't be surprised to see us pick up a few more people as a result. Please continue to pass the word and tell anyone you know who may be interested in joining. WEB SITE UPDATES: In addition to some minor changes and corrections, the NBS web site (http://www.money.org/club_nbs.html) now includes: * pictures for Pete Smith's "A.M. Smith" exhibit * the draft Constitution & Bylaws currently under consideration * a new page on the NBS email list NEXT ASYLUM: Editor George Kolbe reports that the following articles are featured in the upcoming issue of The Asylum: Michael Sullivan: President's Message David Hirt: New NBS Members Randolph Zander: Some Random Numismatic Reminiscences - Part 2 Joel Orosz: The Printer's Devil Arthur Crawmer: Moving Into the New Millennium: Numismatics in the Year 2000 Col. Bill Murray: NBS Annual Meeting at ANA: Portland Anon.: Announcing the New Device: [BOOK] NBS Constitution and By-Laws (center insert) David Lange: The Development of the Coin Album - Part Three Board of Trustees Decisions at the 1998 ANA Convention Col. Bill Murray: Between the Covers Bob Knepper (71234.3514@compuserve.com) writes: "Incident of possible interest: I recently sent a letter requesting twelve numismatic books, mostly German, for me to read at the Library of Congress in Washington. Unfortunately, they could locate only two. The "special search" representative nicely called me two weeks before our trip from Anaheim to give me the poor results; he may have incorrectly believed we were making the trip just to read the books. While at the LoC, I requested any issues of several current German numismatic publications - but they did not have any." Bob collects old German coins and notgeld, and would like to locate some of the related literature, eg. Keller's notgeld books. That's all for this week. Happy collecting!
