THE ASYLUM IS ON THE WAY

Tom Fort, Editor of our print journal, The Asylum, writes:
"The latest issue of The Asylum should be in the post by the
time your read this. Unlike most of our earlier issues this one
is devoted to one work: Ken Lowe's "American Numismatic
Periodicals from 1860 to 1960." This is an expanded and
updated version of the work that Ken published more than
15 years ago.

More important than this will be the Summer 2004 issue of
The Asylum which will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the
founding of our organization. This will be the largest issue we
have ever published, over 150 pages, with a spectacular wrap
around cover. The issue will contain works covering numismatic
literature from the Renaissance to the late 20th century. The
specially commissioned works that I have in hand include
substantial studies by Prof. John Cunnally of the Art History
Department at Iowa State University; Q. David Bowers of
American Numismatic Rarities; Christian Dekesel of Bibliotheca
Numismastica Siciliana in Ghent, Belgium; and Douglas Saville
at Spink in London. I expect the remaining works, all on
American literary topics, very soon. This special issue will only
be sent to those members who have renewed their membership
by June 30th. Non-members who want this issue will need to
join by this date. "
