WAYNE'S WORDS: THE E-SYLUM OCTOBER 2, 2011

Among our new subscribers this week are Ron Alexander, William Ferry and Charles Cave. Welcome aboard! We have 1,456 email subscribers, plus 165 followers on Facebook, including Steve Cooper and Roscoe A. Shepherd.

First, a note about next week's issue. I'll be traveling next Sunday, making publishing at the normal time more difficult. I may publish a day early, so please get any replies and submissions to me early this week. But if I can't wade through the pile fast enough, the issue may be delayed until Monday night. So please be patient if your issue doesn't arrive on time.

This week we open with sale reminders from literature dealers Fred Lake and David Sklow, followed by items on five new or upcoming numismatic books. Other topics this week include an interesting coin lookalike token, hard-to-read signatures on paper money and medals, and the incredible sales rate of e-books.

To learn more about Victor Janvier, raising Rittenhouse from the dead, and the former Mint employee who “ain’t talking to nobody,” read on. Have a great week, everyone!
