NBS Podcast Interviews Dan Hamelberg

The latest installment of Bibliotalk, the NBS quarterly podcast, has been added to the NBS website (coinbooks.org). Additionally, Bibliotalk may be accessed via other popular podcast platforms such as Spotify, iHeart, and many others.

In this episode, Lianna Spurrier interviews Dan Hamelberg, book collector extraordinaire. Hamelberg discusses the genesis and formation of his numismatic library, interweaving stories about collecting coins as a child and his current focus on first year of issue U.S. coins. Dan talks about the impact of the Internet on book collecting, along with a few of his favorite items from the library. This is not to be missed - almost as good as spending an hour in the Hamelberg library itself!

NBS is pleased to announce that the frequency of Bibliotalk will move from quarterly to bi-monthly. Feel free to share feedback, or ideas for future episodes with NBS Vice-President Len Augsburger at leonard.augsburger@wustl.edu.
