MUSCALUS BOOKLET LISTING

Benny Bolin writes: "Continued nice job with The E-Sylum!
I have a question: Do you happen to have or know where
I could access a complete listing of the Muscalus books?
I recently bought a large numismatic library and it has 50+
in it and I would like to know how close to complete it is."

[Dr. John A Muscalus was a prolific author of mostly small
pamphlets on various obsolete U.S. currency topics, from
the mid 1930s through the 1970s. Here's where our print
journal, The Asylum comes in. "The Works of John Muscalus"
by R.L. Bisordi was published in the Winter, 1989 issue.
Numismatic booksellers Frank and Laurese Katen published
a "Bibliography of Dr. John A. Muscalus Books on Paper
Money and Scrip" in March 1991. Eighty items were listed,
and the Katens assigned them numbers from K-1 through
K-80. The subjects of Muscalus' works were varied and
often obscure, but always interesting. K-28 is "The Dismal
Swamp Canal and Lake Drummond Hotel on Paper Money
1838-1865," for example. -Editor]
