Why should you join the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (NBS)? Jack Collins once had a dream about forming an organization for numismatic book and catalogue collectors - literally. He called me excitedly, saying that the night before he had come up with the idea in his sleep, and convinced me of its merit. That was in 1979 - a year later, Jack and I had published the first issue of The Asylum. Shortly after, the NBS was formed. Find out more about the early years by reading Joel Orosz's excellent overview at: www.coinbooks.org/about/index.html .

Neither Jack nor I could have imagined how much NBS would grow. Through the years, those who have followed us have kept type, ink, and paper still relevant and essential through The Asylum, all while bringing the NBS into the electronic age.

I invite you to join the Numismatic Bibliomania Society. If you are not happy with your membership, I will personally refund your dues. How can you lose?
