CANADIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY NEARS COMPLETION

  Darryl Atchison writes: "I am very pleased to announce that
  work on our new Bibliography of Canadian Numismatics is
  nearly 100% finished.  Our intention is to release the text to
  the public this July at the C.N.A. convention in Windsor,
  Ontario.

  In order to get a general sense of how many copies we will
  need to print as well as to determine the print costs, I would
  appreciate if any E-Sylum members would notify me if they
  would be interested in purchasing a copy of  the text.  Our
  plan is to take pre-orders starting in mid-March but no-one
  needs to order now.  The text will be a good quality,
  hardbound, stitch bound, two-volume, illustrated publication
  of over 1,000 pages in length.

  We expect the cover price to be somewhere between 85-125
  Canadian dollars (or approximately 60 - 90 US dollars) for the
  set based on current exchange  rates.  However, we cannot
  lock down a figure until we have a general sense of a minimum
  number we would require.  We intend to print enough copies to
  fill the pre-orders as well as a small overrun.

  Our text covers every field of Canadian numismatics including
  coins, tokens, all classifications of medals, paper currency,
  banking, minting, security printing, counterfeits and counterfeiting,

  auction catalogues, collectors, societies and associations as
  well as other information which may be of interest to a collector
  or researcher interested in Canadian numismatics.

  If you think that you would be interested in purchasing a copy
  please let me know as quickly as possible.  My email address is
  canbiblio@julaine.ca

  Please copy your email to ragreene@telus.net and
  gbel@nb.sympatico.ca.  Obviously the more people that are
  interested the cheaper we can produce the copies.

  Even if you have assisted us in the past and expressed an
  interest verbally, I would appreciate an email so that we
  tabulate a rough count.  Again, I am not asking anyone to order
  now nor is this a commitment to purchase.  But, please do not
  email us if you would not be genuinely interested.

  If you think you know someone who would be interested
  please pass this  message on to them.  All we require is your
  full name and a brief message that you would be interested.

  I would like to thank those of you who have assisted us over
  the past eight and a half years and hope to hear from you."
