Tony Hine of Toronto writes: "Please wish your daughter a happy
4th birthday from all the book nuts!"  Tony's note was a pleasant
surprise and I did pass his greeting on to Hannah.  She turned
four on Monday but managed to stretch the event into a four-day
birthday festival: Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch Sunday, cake and
presents at home Monday, a party at her preschool Tuesday and a
party at our house with seven of her preschool friends on
Wednesday.  It was a Princess-themed party (no surprise there!)

This week we open with a press release and review of David Ganz'
new book. In other literature news, the Canadian Numismatic
Association holds a numismatic book show, Dick Johnson comments
on the inclusion of medal listings in the Red Book, and Jim
Halperin comments on Heritage Auction Galleries exonumia sale
cataloging.

Dick Johnson's other submissions this week cover the death of
a sculptor and collector of Renaissance medals, and a new article
on Paul Manship's medallic ashtrays.  Comments on previous articles
cover topics such as eliminating smoke odors in books, Yoachum
dollars, and digitizing numismatic literature.

In the news, there is word of an internal spat at the Philippine
Numismatic and Antiquarian Society.  To learn who a German coin
collection thief ran into when he took his loot to a bank, read on.
Have a great week, everyone.
