NEW BOOK: BIBLIOGRAPHY OF U.S. BANK HISTORIES

New Book: An Annotated Bibliography of United States Individual and State Bank Histories 1878-2000 by Michael J. Sullivan, designed by the Ascenius Press and distributed by Charles Davis, 395 pages, text illustrations, blue cloth. Citing 1651 entries, the author uses 27 years of collecting expertise to raise the bank history to the level of a necessary adjunct of paper money collecting - “several instances exist where an illustrated bank note has not been observed by collectors.” Bibliographical informational and locations of all citations listed are noted.

The regular edition of 100 numbered copies, each with a fine letterpress bookplate, bound in blue cloth is available at $95.00 plus $7.00 shipping. A quarto sized special edition limited to 15 copies with illustrations in color is currently being bound by Sam Ellenport (retired owner of Boston’s Harcourt Bindery). Priced at $575.00, it will be available in the late Spring. Orders should be made through Charles Davis, Box 547, Wenham, MA 01984 or through his web site numisbook.com .
