EVERYTHING A NUMISMATIC BIBLIOPHILE SHOULD KNOW

Last week Pete Smith wrote: "I recall in the past someone
wrote a book on "Building, Maintaining and Disposing of
a Numismatic Library." I am sure some information is out
of date. However, the book might be useful for some readers.
Perhaps some E-Sylum reader recalls the author and can
suggest where to obtain a copy of this book."

Joe Boling writes: "Pete Smith knows very well who wrote
that book. OK, Pete, where ARE some available for sale?"

[Humor doesn't always come across well in print, especially
for readers in no position to get the inside joke.  I
should have clarified that last week, but figured his
note would generate some responses.  The author of the
aforementioned book was Pete Smith himself.  -Editor]

Harold Eiserloh writes: "I have a copy of the book
"Building, Maintaining and Disposing of a Numismatic
Library" in like-new condition. It was written by Pete
Smith and published by the author in 1994. The book is
card cover, nominally 8 1/2" x 11" and has 62 pages with
two staples at the centerfold."

[It is a great book, a handy one-volume reference to much
of what a numismatic bibliophile needs to know.  Pete
does have some copies on hand, for sale at $12 each,
postpaid.  Send payment to Pete Smith, 2424 4th Street
N.E., Minneapolis, MN 55418.  -Editor]
