NEW BOOK IN PROGRESS: CALENDAR MEDALS AND STORECARDS

George Fuld writes: "The featured web site on January 6th
about calendar medals brings up a topic that I am now working
on.   From January, 1956 to February, 1974, my father and
I published over 250 pages on Calendar Medals and Store
Cards in The Numismatist.  Elston Bradfield, the editor,
had the intent to publish a summary of the articles as a
reprint.

"Now that digital printing has arrived, I am preparing to
republish these articles as a hard back book.  This will
include all the Fuld articles as well as a fine compilation
of British calendar medals by James O. Sweeny.  Sweeny's
study of British calendars, privately printed in 2003
traced more than double, the medals found by the Fuld's.

"Scanning the articles is now underway, and the book should
be available within the next six months.  It will retail
for under $50.  I would welcome inquiries from people if
such a book would be of interest.  This will influence the
original press run.  Contact George Fuld at fuld1@comcast.net."

[The booklet by Sweeney is titled "Three Hundred Years of
British Calendar Medals"  (28 pages, 2003) -Editor]
