Congratulations on reaching 2,000 subscribers to The E-Sylum. That's an amazing testament to the importance everyone puts on the hard work you pour into the publication. Very impressive!!

Just as I did at 1,000 followers, let me congratulate you on establishing and maintaining one of the first blogs I can remember. Before Instagram, before Twitter, before Facebook was funded..... Sometime after "The Well"....... Pretty amazing.

I have to compliment you on this week's newsletter. How you manage to compile so many details and bits of information while attending the ANA show is truly remarkable. My congratulations.

The show for me was probably the busiest I ever attended. So much running back and forth with regards to my new book, and visiting dealers so many of whom purchased copies. For me, sitting at the Central States table was great, but most dealers rarely get away from their tables for long. So paying them a visit allowed for many sales. I brought 101 books, including 17 hard cover editions, and went home with just one soft cover, retained for “show and tell”. And I still spent most of the day Sunday packing orders for those who did not want to schlepp around the 2-pounder until they returned home. I could not have wished for a better response based upon the praise and compliments doled out by literally everyone that bought or just saw it.

It is currently available on eBay at the following link: www.ebay.com/itm/The-2-50-5-Gold-Indians-of-Bela-Lyon-Pratt-by-Allan-Schein-Gold-Indian-Book-/191945980550 .

I possess a copy of the 1st Edition. Within book there is a notice that 2500 of this volume were printed. Mr Wong Hon Sum speaks English and would be ready to answer questions about the book.
