RECENT PUBLICATIONS

  The same issue of Bank Note Reporter brings better news
  about another book relating to Confederate currency.
.  "Counterfeit Currency of the Confederate States of
  America" by George B. Tremmel has just been published.
  "Its 144 pages include a historical discussion of the people
  and events involved with CSA counterfeits, as well as steps
  taken by the Confederate Treasury to combat the plague
  of illegal notes."    The hardcovered book may be ordered
  from Hugh Shull, P.O. Box 761, Camden, SC 29020 for
  $35 plus $3 shipping.

  Another long-awaited publication is being publicized in
  ads by "Bowers and Merena Galleries" -- the long-awaited
  update to "California Pioneer Fractional Gold" by Walter
  Breen and Ronald J. Gillio.  The new revised and enlarged
  second edition was authored by Robert D. Leonard, Jr.
  In the ad, Robert J. Chandler of the California Historical
  Society writes, "It is a toss up to decide what Bob Leonard
  has done best: Coordinating iconoclastic, egocentric
  collectors, or tracking down leads on the highways and
  byways of research.  To cite one area, Leonard's revelations
  on manufacturers in the 1870s and 1880s are amazing."
  Pre-publication prices are $39.50 hardbound, $27.50
  softbound.  Orders may be made through the company's
  web site: http://www.bowersandmerena.com"

  Has it only been 12 years since this book was in print?
  Secondhand copies of the earlier editions have been
  bringing up to $300 until recently.  Perhaps more people
  will support the authors and publisher this time around
  by buying their copies before it goes out of print again.
  I have a deluxe copy of the first edition in my library
  (ex-Jim Sloss), but had sold all my copies of the
  softbound version.  It will be nice to have a working copy
  of the revised edition on the shelf soon.
