KOLBE-FANNING LOT VIEWING: IN THE LIBRARY OR IN THE LIBRARY?

I received a call from Frank Campbell who kindly pointed out a possible source of confusion in the Kolbe & Fanning catalogue of The 2012 New York Book Sale, to be held on Saturday January 7th, 2012 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel during the New York International Numismatic Convention.

Namely, the catalogue states that lot viewing is "at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, Eighteenth Floor Meeting Room Level: The Library..." While this is correct, Frank pointed out that some potential lot viewers might reasonably think that the location is at the American Numismatic Society Library building, since lot viewing has indeed been held there for the past two years. While Kolbe & Fanning will miss interacting with the wonderful ANS staff this January, we do look forward to seeing and visiting a larger contingent of numismatic researchers and bibliophiles, given the enticing nexus that NYINC provides.

So, to all the usual suspects, and we hope some new ones, we implore : come see us in THE LIBRARY (yes there is such a room in the hotel) at the Waldorf.
