COIN WORLD "BUY THE BOOK" ARTICLE

  Dick Johnson writes: "Kudos to Michele Orzano for the
  Coin World article on numismatic books this week. As brief
  as it was it covered the field brilliantly -- listing eight online
  book sources, five specialist dealers, all NBS members --
  in addition to mention of Numismatic Bibliomania Society and
  especially E-Sylum's allure. Expect a bump in our ratings with,
  perhaps, new members and subscribers. What Orzano
  overlooked, however, was mention that most NBS book
  dealers have their auction lists available on the net in addition
  to printed format."

  The issue also caught the eye of our Secretary-Treasurer,
  W. David Perkins, who writes: "For those who have not seen
  it yet, the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (NBS) was
  referenced twice in the Monday, July 26, 2004 issue of
  Coin World.  The first mention was as part of an article on
  page 16 by Michele Orzano titled "Buy book before coin /
  Web sites offer collectors opportunities to add to personal
  numismatic libraries."   Six paragraphs under the heading
  "Book club" were dedicated to NBS, including membership
  information.

  The second mention was in Q. David Bowers "The Joys of
  Collecting" (column), page 46.  This week's column was
  titled "The published word / Out-of-print books contain
  wealth of info."  David's suggestion, "If you like collecting
  literature, write out a check for $15 ($20 if you do not live
  in North America) to the Numismatic Bibliomania Society"..

  Good advice David!  Thanks from the Numismatic
  Bibliomania Society for this recommendation.  Many
  bibliophiles must agree - lately, NBS has been receiving
  many new membership applications.  E-Sylum subscribers,
  if you are not already a member we encourage you to join
  today.

  [As always, instructions for joining appear at the end of
  this issue. -Editor]
