Will the Numismatic Sun be issued in old-fashioned hard copy, or just the fleeting, amorphous e-vers

Longacre

One of the simple joys in life is having your reading material laid out for you in your study, having your favorite libation poured on command, and relaxing in your overstuffed chair, perusing the latest numismatic publications. In search of the publication date of the latest version of Stack’s Numismatic Sun, I ventured to their website.

To my delight, I see that the Winter, 2011 version is in the offing. I quickly calculated how long it would take to get from Wolfeboro, NH to my [undisclosed location]. Life was good. However, to my horror, the website contained a link, which then popped up an e-version of the Sun.

Does anyone know if Stack’s will be issuing a paper version of the Numismatic Sun? Sitting in a Kalahari Ash Swivel Chair, clutching an iPad, and sipping a Diet Coke does not seem to have the same feel to it as reading the paper version. Here is a link:
The Sun

I got a hardcopy of the last one (issue #17 if memory serves).

The old Rare Coin Review had more research articles in it.

The Sun is still the best house organ by far.

My dream job would be to edit the Sun and to dispatch Longacre to do all the grunt work

Issue #18, the Winter 2011 edition, was released into the Numismatic Wild™ about six weeks ago, I believe.

Your copy is doubtless being hand-delivered by powder-wigged courier and coach --- and, as you know, there have been snowstorms in the Northeast this winter. Coach wheels must be procured from their original factory in England. These things take time.

Back in the days of Hathaway & Bowers, the Rare Coin Review was much anticipated for its articles, and less so for the coins. With each reincarnation, it has grown less informative. C’est la vie.

I recently received the numismatic sun#18. I remember my father used to get the rare coin review from bowers and merena. I always thought it was a great magazine/sales vehicle. I had about 20-25 0f the rcr until about 10 years ago, I used to look thru them over and over,and I wish I still had them.

welcome to the new "dark ages".....once the fleeting technology (and you KNOW it is) bypasses all that we have diligently recorded in todays 'methods'......historians of the future will look back on our era with questions since very little written information will survive. what a shame.

LOL @ "running to Google"
It's Funk & Wagnall for me, when Longacre writes.
