Message from the President
With the ANA World's Fair of Money in Philadelphia quickly approaching, I would like to share a few highlights of our annual Numismatic Bibliomania Society events. We are delighted to have numismatic scholar,researcher and author Roger Burdette, speaking at our Symposium on Thursday, August 16 at 1:00 in room 120 C on numismatic research at the National Archives. This will be a fascinating look at the challenges and discoveriesthrough Roger's extensive experiences.

Our General Meeting held Friday, August 17 at 11:30 in room 117 will include the announcement of The Asylum author award winners. We are also looking forward to a timely presentation by numismatic literature dealer, DavidFanning, discussing the current state of the numismatic literature market. As numismatic literature is going through a digital transition, this topic should be of considerable interest to all bibliophiles. Our all-importantbenefit auction will conclude the General Meeting. I would like to give a special shout-out to our generous members who are donating items for the auction and to all of our enthusiastic bidders who will ensure itssuccess.

This year we have renewed our tradition of hosting an NBS club table. The table will be located near literature dealers Charles Davis and Kolbe & Fanning. We will be displaying a variety of choice items from Friday'sbenefit auction. We hope everyone will have an opportunity to stop by the table to visit and receive a complimentary NBS bookmark. This will be a great chance to connect with fellow literature enthusiasts and share yourthoughts and ideas for the betterment of the NBS.

Until we meet in Philadelphia, may your numismatic library provide investigation, discovery and most of all, enjoyment.
