NBS Activities at the ANA Convention
Send your photos (JPGs with captions) of NBS members and events from the ANA to nbsasylum@gmail.com by September 1 to be included in The Asylum Fall issue.
Once again, the ANA Convention will feature a full slate of NBS activities. Our club table on the bourse floor is 1321, conveniently located adjacent to book dealers Kolbe & Fanning and Charles Davis. Tom Harrison will be hosting the club table on Tuesday, with Jeff Dickerson taking over on Wednesday. Jeff has been learning the fine arts of bookbinding and will be doing a demo of box building for attendees. Boxes will be suitably sized to contain back issues of the The Asylum. This is your chance to create a one-of-a-kind commemorative of NBS history!
The NBS Symposium annually showcases presentations related to new books. This year's installment features author Robert D. Leonard, speaking on the upcoming third edition of California Pioneer Fractional Gold, while Len Augsburger will discuss the forthcoming bibliography of Eric P. Newman, to be published by Kolbe & Fanning. This event takes place Thursday at 1:00 PM in room 10.
The annual Charity Auction will occur during the NBS General Meeting on Friday, 11:30AM in room 12. Auction catalogs will be issued prior to the event so that bidders may plot their strategies accordingly. The Charity Auction provides a good portion of the NBS operating budget, and we thank donors and bidders for their support. In addition, we will present our literary award for 2023.
Finally, on Saturday, we will have a tour of the Dan Hamelberg library in Champaign, IL. Transportation and lunch will be provided but we do ask attendees to RSVP to me at leonard.augsburger@wustl.edu. This will leave from the Hyatt Regency in Rosemont at 9:30AM and return in the evening.
NBS Auction
Each year at the ANA World's Fair of Money, the Numismatic Bibliomania Society conducts a benefit auction to raise funds for the association. All items sold are donated to the NBS by members and 100% of the proceeds go to the NBS treasury.
