NBS 25TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

  E. Tomlinson Fort, Editor of out print journal, The Asylum
  writes: "The preliminary edit and layout of our special issue of
  The Asylum for the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the
  Numismatic Bibliomania Society has been completed.  It is
  264 pages long. This makes it the equivalent of more that two
  years of The Asylum (at our usual size) combined. It is, by far,
  the largest (and best)  collection of essays on numismatic
  literature ever published in one volume in the United States.

  The works run from the popular to the scholarly, from Europe
  to America, from autobiography to bibliography and from
  tongue in cheek to an eye for detail.  There is something for
  everyone.

  An NBS membership costs only $15 ($20 outside the US).
  If you miss this opportunity and find yourself paying lots of
  money for a copy on the secondary market, you only have
  yourself to blame. New memberships and renewal payments
  MUST be received by the Secretary-Treasurer  by July 1,
  2004. No exceptions. A membership application can be
  found on the NBS web site at www.coinbooks.org.

  It is time for the readers of this e-newsletter to put their
  money where their mouths are and support the organization
  which brings us this fine work."
