NEW U.S. PAPER MONEY BOOKS

  The June 2004 issue of Bank Note Reporter announces the
  publication of three new books on U.S. paper money.

  "The Society of Paper Money Collectors (SPMC) has
  released the latest state catalog in its long-running series of
  books chronicling the obsolete paper money of antebellum
  America.

  Entitled "A History of Nineteenth Century Ohio Obsolete
  Bank Notes and Scrip," written by Wendell Wolka, this
  book eclipses all of the previous state books in terms of the
  sheer size of the undertaking.

  The 2-1/2 inch-thick, hardbound book contains nearly 1,100
  pages, has over 900 illustrations and lists nearly 7,000 different
  notes ..."

  "Wolka jokingly confided that, had he known the book was
  going to be this big, he might have had second thoughts about
  taking on the project six years ago." (p4)

  [Single copies are $66.  Orders should be sent to Wendell
  Wolka, SPMC Ohio Book, P.O. Box 1211, Greenwood,
  IN 46142.  Checks should be made out toe SPMC. -Editor]

  Liddell and William Litt, 600+ "large format" pages.
