THIN NUMISMATIC BOOKS

  Steve D'Ippolito writes: "I am gratified that the thick book
  /thin book contest still seems to be active.  I have what may
  be the thinnest hard bound book.   It is "Russian Gold Coins"
  by Elivra Eliza Clain-Stefanelli issued by Spink and Sons
  Ltd. in 1962.  The cover is thin cardboard but cardboard
  nonetheless, with glossy red paper as the outer layer, and
  endsheets glued to the inside surface of the cardboard --
  makes it a hardback in my book (pun intended).  The text
  is 40 pages not including the two endsheets (which are really
  part of the binding).  The whole thing seems to be about 4
  millimeters thick (just a shade over 5/32nds of an inch)."
