V25 2022 INDEX E-SYLUM ARCHIVE DELUXE EDITIONS OF MOULTON BOOK ON VOIGTDavid Fanning of Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers writes: "The timing of the recent questions about the planned deluxe edition of Karl Moulton's book on Henry Voigt is fortuitous. By coincidence, we had just been shipped a number of boxes of these undistributed volumes, and we will be ready to offer them in the near future. "While I do not know the background on these in its entirety, I can say that the books exist in quarto format, and are a large-paper edition (that is, the text block is the same as in the octavo trade edition) bound in white or brown processed leather. They are gilt-stamped on the front cover and spine and come in a variety of colors of marbled endpapers. The Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation underwrote the production of these special editions, but the books remained undistributed for reasons unknown to me. Further information will be available soon. In the meantime, two copies of the book are included in our Sale 165 as lots 321 and 322:" Thanks, that's great news. -Editor
