WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM JANUARY 13, 2008

Among our recent subscribers are Chris Neuzil and Joseph D.
McCarthy.  Welcome aboard!  We now have 1,109 subscribers.

This week we open with discussions of the catalogs for two
upcoming sales, one of numismatic literature and one of
Americana.  On a very different topic, next is a review of
a book on the coins and currency of the middle east.  My
numismatic diary for this week touches on the Daniel Carr
Amero patterns and the 1933 Washroom Warrior medal.

In responses to last week's issue, David Schenkman discusses
William D. Hyder's January 2008 Numismatist article, and
George Cuhaj discusses the Gorham Company archives at Brown
University. Responding to last week's announcement of the
pending retirement of ANS Librarian Frank Campbell, we have
some appreciations of Frank's work by three E-Sylum readers.

So you thought the American Numismatic Society used to be
in a tough neighborhood?  Try Baghdad.  To learn about the
"Jack Bauer of librarianship", read on. Have a great week,
everyone.
