NBS ACTIVITIES IN PITTSBURGH

  After a fun evening at the ANS book auction, there is
  even more in store for bibliophiles at the August convention
  of the American Numismatic Association.

  The following morning, August 20, the Numismatic
  Bibliomania Society will hold its annual meeting.  In honor
  of our club's 25th anniversary we are working to plan a
  lunch following the meeting.   After lunch, NBS members
  who have registered will embark on an afternoon bus tour
  to two private local numismatic libraries, those of Asylum
  Editor E. Tomlinson Fort, and myself.   See the next
  Asylum issue for more information.  Regretably, we have
  dropped the Carnegie Library from the tour due to time
  constraints.  Fortunately, there is little in the way of
  numismatic literature in the Carnegie collection that doesn't
  appear in one of our libraries.

  Equally regretably, we must cancel the planned viewing
  of coins from the Carnegie collection.  Although our contacts
  at the museum were initially willing to set something up, they
  have been overruled by their boss.   Like many museums
  across the country, The Carnegie is understaffed.  Recent
  layoffs have greatly depleted their staff.

  I'd like to thank and apologize to those who earlier expressed
  interest in the Carnegie visits, and hope you will be able to
  join us for the remaining library tours.
