NBS ACTIVITIES AT THE ANA CONVENTIONNumismatic Bibliomania Society President Len Augsburger offers this preview of NBS events at the upcoming American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money. -Editor
The NBS Symposium will be held Thursday, August 27, at 1pm in room 324. Cassie Brand, Rare Books Curator at Washington University in St. Louis, will be our featured speaker, on the topic Book Matters: A Brief History of the Object. Cassie shares an overview: "The book is a not passive carrier of text, but an active participant in shaping how text is read. This presentation will touch on the history of printing, typography, binding, and illustration, with a focus on how the look of the book changes in response to technological advances. Throughout history, text has been shaped by the technologies available to transmit it, making it impossible to separate the text from the object that carries it. In short, the book matters." Friday, August 28, the NBS general meeting will take place at 11:30am in room 325. In addition to the presentation of literary awards, we will conduct our annual Charity Auction. We can use a few more items for this book sale, especially material valued at $100 at up. Contact myself ( leonard.augsburger@wustl.edu) or David Fanning ( df@numislist.com) for further information.
