   I recently received my copy of The Asylum and knowing we were promised the list of the 100 greatest numismatic books I anxiously tore it open.  I expected a list of books 1 thru 100 with no commentary.  To my surprise there was a paragraph or two for each book.  But wait, I must be missing pages covering number 1 thru 40.  Then I settled down, relaxed and started to read.  What a tease Leonard is.  How long do we wait for 1 thru 40?  This is a grand effort by Len - what a superb job.      
 
   Bill's note was caught in the email ether for a couple weeks, but now we have an answer to his question.  -Editor   
 David Yoon, editor of our print journal The Asylum writes:
   I've sent the next issue of The Asylum , vol. 27 no. 2, to the printers. Here's the contents list:     Leonard Augsburger - The One Hundred Greatest Items of United States Numismatic Literature: A Survey of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society, Part 2    D. Wayne Johnson - Defining and Voting on "Greatest" Numismatic  Works: A Contrarian View of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society Survey  RyAnne Scott - News from the ANA Library: Numismatic Literature at the World's Fair of Money  
 
   I, too, am awaiting the unveiling of the top forty choices.  I was equally surprised and impressed with Len's commentary on each item. Remember - although The E-Sylum  is free to all, only paid members of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society receive The Asylum , the print journal of record for numismatic bibliophiles.  Membership information is available each week at the top right of each E-Sylum issue, and on our newly updated web site at   www.coinbooks.org .  -Editor
