DAN FREIDUS EXHIBITS LITERATURE AT AMHERST COLLEGE LIBRARY

Dan Freidus writes: "I've got an exhibit in the library at Amherst
College that will be there from this Wednesday through Sunday.  When
I was an undergrad there I won a book collecting contest and I've
stayed in touch with the college's librarians. They'll be hosting
an exhibit on how the contest has affected my collecting over the
past 25 years.

"In actuality, that exhibit would have taken much more space than
they had so what you'll see if you happen to be in the area is a
slice of my collection.  The judges 25 years ago encouraged me to
be more focused in my collecting.  Now my collection is mainly on
U.S. coins and paper money of the colonial and Confederation eras,
with an emphasis on financial and economic history rather than
pure numismatics.

"The exhibit is comprised of 18th century paper money and financial
documents, contemporary newspapers, 19th century books on these
topics from either historical or numismatic perspectives, and a
few auction catalogs.

"If you can find Amherst, Massachusetts, you can find Amherst College.
The Special Collections room will have longer hours than normal this
week because of reunions.  The hours will be 9-noon & 1-4 on Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday; 8-5 on Saturday; and 9-1 on Sunday.   If anyone
will try to make it to the exhibit, they can email me beforehand at
dan1737@gmail.com.  It's always nice to get together with another
numismatic bibliophile."
