RED BOOK RIGHTS SOLD

  Ken Bressett writes: "Thanks for another great issue of the
  newsletter. They are always so enjoyable. Here is a bit of
  news that your readers may not have yet.  I wanted them to
  be among the first to know:

  All rights to A Guide Book of United States Coins, and all
  other Whitman books and coin supply products, have just
  been sold to H. E. Harris & Co.  The new owner has been
  in the hobby business (stamp and coin supplies) for the past
  85 years and is well known to the industry.  They intend to
  not only keep the Whitman line intact, but to expand it, and
  support the hobby in many innovative ways.

  Although I have thoroughly enjoyed my association with
  the former owner, St. Martin's Press, I am extremely pleased
  and enthused about the new direction that H. E. Harris intends
  to pursue. I will continue to edit the Guide Book and other
  Whitman products and to be involved in many new projects
  for H. E. Harris. I will continue to work at my home office,
  with the same communication contacts."
