RANDOM NOTES ON LITERATURE TOPICS

  Having sworn off late nights for the time being now that
  the ANA convention is past, I'll only make short mention
  of a number of other interesting items to cross my desk
  this week.  Readers are welcome and encouraged to
  elaborate on any or all for next week's issue. -Editor

  The Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) has just published
  "An Illustrated Catalogue of The French Billon Coinage in
  the Americas" by Robert Vlack, 2004.  I purchased my
  copy at the convention from Ray Williams.

  9-10 sale of the Lowell Horwedel Collection of California

  of Emperor Norton I (see lot 15446).

  The American Numismatic Rarities issue #3 of The
  Numismatic Sun (Summer/Fall 2004) includes an article
  by David Fanning, Editor-in-Chief of our print journal,
  The Asylum.  The title is "Collecting Numismatic Literature."

  Steve Carr has photographed the early american copper
  coins in the National Numismatic Collection, and is
  developing a web site devoted to images of the coins
  (per his article in the August 17, 2004 Numismatic News).
  See National Numismatic Collection Early Coppers.

  Russ Sears has published a booklet of "Pre-Civil War
  Baltimore Lotteries."  It is available from the author at

  Association. (Coin World, August 30 issue, p32)
