The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 38, September 16, 2001, Article 7 NUMISMATIC BOOKS ON CD Fred Reed writes: "Regarding the first numismatic book on CD-ROM, I don't claim that "Civil War Encased Stamps: The Issuers and Their Times" was the first, but it was available in 1995 on CD-ROM. Check out the back of the title page for information. We burned a dozen copies as an experiment. I only had one inquiry, but the guy didn't want to pay the price requested, which was more than the hard back price. The book was also reproduced on microfiche but not for sale." Allan Davisson writes: "Question: The Scott Catalog on stamps is now published on CD-ROM and is compatible with Windows and Macintosh. When will Krause do the same for their world coin catalogs? As much as I value actual books on my shelves, the sheer size of the Krause volumes coupled with their potential utility when I am traveling would seem to make them strong candidates for the CD-ROM format.
