RECENT BOOK FINDS

  Carl Honore writes: "They're still out there!  Keep searching
  the local book sales, folks ... I found the two-volume set by
  Dave Bowers on the History of the ANA for fifty cents at our
  local library sale.  The books had been originally donated to
  the library by a local citizen and placed on the shelves where
  I think I am the only one ever to have checked them out.
  (This is nothing against the quality of Dave's writing, but
  rather the lack of collectors up here in my neck of the woods.)

  Needless to say I snapped up this treasure posthaste.  I made
  a dollar fifty donation to the Friends of the Library so I actually
  got the books for $2.00.  Additionally, there were quite a few
  other books on numismatics inside the building (the ANA set
  was outside).   In fact, the topics within the numismatic field were
  varied enough that a beginning hobbyist could get started for as
  little as $4.00 at this particular sale.  There were two Redbooks,
  one on coin investing, another volume on ancient coins, and a
  Bluebook.   The earliest redbook I found at a booksale of this
  nature was a 1960, so keep, looking folks!!"
