JOHN WHITMORE's TOKEN COLLLECTORS COMPANION AVAILABLE

Allan Davisson provided the following information on a new
book for Conder token collectors.  He adds: "It's a great
work, a major production on John Whitmore's part."

NEW & NECESSARY! THE TOKEN COLLECTORS COMPANION by John
Whitmore.  A 390 page A4 format volume, hardbound (or
leather if you prefer) with

* THE TOKEN TRACER 1700-1860; a guide to all the legends,
dates only or design only tokens issued in this entire period.
Dalton and Hamer, Australasian, the Bell volumes including
Unofficial Farthings, Withers—Coin-Weights & 19th Century
Copper, Breton, Cobwright, Davis & Waters, Dalton (silver)
and more.

* An extensive listing of major auction prices of Dalton and
Hamer tokens going back to the Jan sales in 1983 and including

This is a tremendous volume, the result of painstaking work
and an extensive depth of knowledge and experience on the
part of John Whitmore. I began with only a proof copy in
sheets that I used extensively. I now have an early copy of
the work itself. he binding and dustjacket are notably high
quality.

I happily agreed to distribute this outstanding work in the
United States.  The cost is modest for all this offers, $125
hardbound or $190 half leather. (Prices are postpaid to U.S.
addresses. Delivery will be in early June.)
