NEW BOOK: 'THE HIBERNIA COINAGE OF WILLIAM WOOD' BY SYD MARTIN

Ray Williams writes: "I just wanted to let everyone know
that Syd Martin's new book 'The Hibernia Coinage of William
Wood (1722-1724)' was released this past weekend at the C4
Convention in Boston.  It is truly an all encompassing work
on the topic, well thought out with respect to content and
structure, and obviously this was a labor of love by the
author.  I feel this book should be used as an example of
how a numismatic book should be written on a specialty topic.
Syd's book will serve as the standard reference on the topic
for many generations - a brief glance through the pages will
tell why.

"As an aside, I'm very proud to be associated with a specialty
club (Colonial Coin Collectors Club) that has published four
significant numismatic books and added so much to the knowledge
base of colonial numismatics.  We have a fifth manuscript being
reviewed at the moment and another ready to review, with several
others that I hope will be ready for publication in the next
two to three years.  Thanks for the great job with the E-Sylum!"

[The book's table of contents is quite thorough, organizing
nearly 500 pages of information into four major chapters and
five appendices.  Michael Hodder wrote the book's introduction.
The book is available from numismatic literature dealer Charles
Davis (Numislit@aol.com) at $85 plus $5 shipping to the Continental
USA (Canada $15, Europe $27).   I'm looking forward to reading
the book and would encourage our colonial-collecting readers
to provide their thoughts on it for The E-Sylum.  -Editor]
