THE ENGRAVER'S LINE: 100 COPY SPECIAL EDITION

  Gene Hessler sends this note about a new special edition
  of his book, The Engraver's Line:

  "One hundred numbered copies of The Engraver's Line have
  been prepared by the author. This original version of the
  NLG award-winning book, and a supplement, includes five
  insertions, four signed by the engravers. The engravers
  represented differ from those who signed their work in the
  sold-out special edition when this book was first published.

  In addition, and while supply lasts, those who purchase any
  edition, regular or special, will receive an additional sheet of
  engravings created at American Bank Note Company. These
  will be mailed separately  and can be sent only to an address
  in the U.S.

  The author will be at the BNR Press table at the Memphis
  International Paper Money Show to sign books.

  As line engraving is being replaced by mechanical and
  computer-imaging methods, The Engraver's Line pays homage
  to artists from an era that has all but disappeared.  This
  encyclopedia of paper money and postage stamp art and
  biographies was first released in 1993, including a special
  edition with signed engravings.  Recently, different engravers
  suggested that the author prepare a second special edition.
  The result, 100 copies of the original edition with signed
  engravings for those who appreciate the art of security
  engraving.

  Special edition with engravings $145; regular edition $85.
  For each book, add $5 for postage and insurance.  Send
  check or money order to: Gene Hessler, PO Box 31144,
  Cincinnati, OH 45231.  For a copy of the supplement only,
  send $5.  Outside the U.S. add $15 (check on a U.S. bank
  or instrument payable in U.S. funds) for postage and
  registration.

  Requests for a specific numbered copy will be honored,
  if possible, but cannot be guaranteed.  Specify if you wish
  the book to be signed by the author and to whom."
