ANA ISSUE 

   It's that time of year again - the American Numismatic 
   Association holds its annual convention this coming week in 
   Philadelphia.  The ANA convention is often the only time of 
   the year when our members get to meet in person. 

   The annual meeting of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society 
   will take place at 11:30 AM in Room 201C of the Convention 
   Center.    At the meeting W. David  Perkins will speak on "The 
   Ostheimers of Philadelphia and their Extraordinary Collection 
   of Silver Dollars". 

   NBS will also host a Numismatic Literature Symposium. 
   Moderated by NBS Board member Dr. Joel Orosz, the 
   symposium will be held on Friday, August 11, from 2 pm to 
   3:30 (in the same room as the general meeting earlier that day). 

   Participants include NBS Board member Pete Smith, who will 
   be speaking on the books published about the Philadelphia 
   Mint,  and Eric Newman, who will be discussing one of the 
   earliest authors on a numismatic topic in the United States, 
   Beale Bordley. 

   I'll look forward to seeing many NBS members and E-Sylum 
   subscribers there.   As you go about the convention, please 
   keep NBS in mind and help recruit new members and 
   subscribers.   Spread the word! 

   [By the way, due to convention travel your Editor may be a 
    bit late with the next issue.  Meanwhile, feel free to send me 
    your thoughts on the convention for the next E-Sylum.]
