Many thanks to Scott Travers and Ed Reiter for forwarding the list of 2014 winners of the Numismatic Literary Guild awards. I was unable to attend this year's NLG Bash. Remember, NLG is a different organization than NBS, but we share an enthusiasm for numismatic writing and research. Here are some selections from the lengthy list of winners.
