NATION OF COUNTERFEITERS AUTHOR STEPHEN MIHM ON BOOKTV

On October 7 we published a review by Richard Doty of the 
new book 'A Nation of Counterfeiters: Con Men, and the Making 
of the United States' by University of Georgia history 
professor Stephen Mihm. 

Harry Waterson writes: "C-SPAN 2 is BookTV on weekends, 
and this last weekend they ran a 1 hour, 10 minute presentation 
about early banknotes by Mr. Mihm. They are rerunning it this 
week at BookTV.Org as a streaming video. I found it fascinating 
and recommend it to your readers, although it may not be 
available for long."

[My copy of the new book arrived in the mail last week, 
and it looks like a wonderful read. The BookTV episode 
is a recording of a talk Mimh gave at the Library Company 
of Philadelphia. Although he illustrated his talk with 
slides, these do not show up well in the video. Still, 
it's an enlightening presentation even for those of us 
already familiar with obsolete currency and counterfeiting.
