The E-Sylum:  Volume 9, Number 23, June 4, 2006, Article 1

WAYNE's WORDS

Among our recent subscribers are G. R. Tremblay, Wayne K. Schroll,
Sandra E. Marxen, Bob Leuver, courtesy of David Ganz and George
Kimmich, courtesy of Nick Graver.  Welcome aboard!  We now have
918 subscribers.

This week we have a number of interesting reader queries on topics
including an 1876 numismatic periodical, the best wood for library
shelving, sources for archival bookplates, and Civil War
identification discs.

Closer to home we have a new E-Sylum archive feature that should
make it easier to locate past articles on the NBS web site.  And
speaking of Internet resources, we have excerpts from a great New
York Times article on the rapidly increasing body of online texts
and the future of books.

Even closer to your Editor's heart is an upcoming auction including
items from my own collection. (Yes, I collect more than just books...)
And finally, do you suffer from "collectile dysfunction"?  Read on
to find out.  Have a great week, everyone!
