JOHN BURNS REFERENCE LIBRARY UPDATE

As noted in several earlier E-Sylum articles, the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists is maintaining a travelling numismatic reference library named after the late numismatic literature dealer John H. Burns. This update was published in the December 2015 issue of the PAN eNEWS. -Editor

Andy Singer, dealer in Ancient Coins, poses with donation

PAN received a very appreciated book donation to our library during the fall show. Ancient coin dealer Andy Singer donated the two volume set of English Hammered Coinage by J.J. North. Andy has been a strong supporter of the concept of a traveling numismatic library to be available at coin shows. Our library curator Ed Krivoniak has been entering our accumulated collection into a spreadsheet to make it easier to ascertain what would be most beneficial to continued growth.

Kevin Flynn also donated a significant number of his many authored books to the library. In summary, the PAN fall show was a windfall for donations and a popular gathering place for our enlightened bibliophiles to meet and exchange ideas and opinions. It has become a spot with a purpose on the show floor. Now, if we can just keep the air in the tires to get it to as many shows as possible, then we would revel in its success and maybe we can open a few windows to an expanded area of numismatics. Please have a look at our Burns Library page on our website and consider a monetary or book donation to help us along.
