The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 29, July 15, 2001, Article 5 RULAU PUBLISHING PROJECTS New subscriber Russ Rulau sends the following updates on his current projects for Krause Publications: "Hard Times Tokens", 9th edition, will be a freestanding volume with approximately twice the content of the 8th edition (1999), which was part of Standard Catalog of U.S. Tokens 1700-1900. It is already in typesetting at Krause Publications and will be available to public January 2002 and to jobbers December 2001. All pricing and background notes are revised and many new items included, such as Harrison and Clay cent and half-cent sized campaign medalets. The largest expansion will be blow-up photographs of die-evidence study by Wesley S. Cox and an attempt to assign a designer/maker to every HTT possible. Pricing accurate as of June 2001. "Tokens of Spain 1800-1970" is a new project being negotiated for publication by Numismatics International of Texas. It is the culmination of some seven years effort. It will include private cardboard chits of the Civil War 1936-39 and the 1945 and 1970 change shortages; metal tokens and store cards, including many unlisted CW pieces; proclamation medalets which circulated as money (2-real size and under). The manuscript is complete and NI officers are considering its feasibility for publication. "Standard Catalog of United States Tokens 1700-1900," 4th edition, is to be published by Krause Publications in 2004. The manuscript is under preparation for 2003 typesetting. The Hard Times Token section will revert to its normal size in this edition. The U.S. Civil War cardboard chit section is being considerably enlarged, as is the Gay Nineties (1890-1900) section, and a good many more attributed merchant counterstamps are being added to the three pre-Civil War segments. Prices, size, binding, availability are announcements the publishers must make at appropriate time. The author, Russ Rulau, may be reached thru Krause Publications or Numismatics International."
