SEVENTH EDITION COMPREHENSIVE CATALOG OF U.S. PAPER MONEY

In the November 24, 2005 (Vol 7, No. 1378) issue of
MPC Gram, the military numismatics newsletter, editor
Fred Schwan discussed a new book his company (BNR Press)
is working on.

He writes: "I have mentioned several times that I have been
working with Carlson Chambliss on a new book... The book
is the seventh edition of the Comprehensive Catalog of U. S.
Paper Money. The first six editions have been by Gene Hessler.
The seventh edition adds Carlson Chambliss as a co-author
and general editor.

If I may say so, this is a perfect match. Gene has done
outstanding research on many aspects of US paper money.
This research shows in the first six editions and continues
in this edition. I would categorize Gene's research as being
of a more or less non-commercial nature. Of course, all
editions have included values and Gene did a good job of
soliciting help from collectors and dealers for this aspect
of his catalogs. However, that part was hardly a passion.
It was a duty.

On the other hand, Carlson is a market maven. He studies
the heck out of just about every public transaction. He
can read an auction prices realized list and get excited
where most of us would go to sleep. Furthermore, he is
an active and advanced collector of most areas covered
by the catalog. This is an ideal marriage of talents and
I believe that the product will reflect that."
