Does anyone here belong to the Numismatic Bibliomania Society?

I was checking out their website and it seems like a pretty fun organization. Although I am not a book collector per se, I do purchase and read a lot of numismatic books. The have an email newsletter called E-sylum, and there are archived copies on the site as well. I took a read through a few of the more recent copies, and the articles are very interesting (at the very least they expanded my knowledge into other areas and provided links to some other interesting topics. Does anyone know anything else about this organization? Thanks.

Do a category search at the top of this forum. There are several members on the boards. I asked this exact same question here about a month ago and got some good responses. I haven't joined yet, but will be doing so.

Hey there:

I'm actually on the board of NBS and have been a member since 1989. It's a great club, full of fun and scholarly types who like books and research. Some read them, some collect them, some write them, but everyone at least likes coin books. The next issue of The Asylum is a extra-large 20th anniversary issue too, so now is a good time to join.

If anyone would like to join, feel free to PM me for more info or check out the website, www.coinbooks.org.

The articles in the journal range from scholarly articles on numismatic literature, memoirs of well-known numismatists, casual collector notes, bibliographies, or research notes. There is also a lot of interest in the club in the history of numismatics, profiles of long dead dealers and collectors, etc.

Please join us!
