Quarter Book help Sought
Dave Bowers reports that he and editor Amanda Piarino at Whitman Publishing Company are busy creating the second edition of A Guide Book of Washington and State Quarters, which will be slightly retitled to reflect the later territorial and America the Beautiful quarters.

Like other Whitman books, this has been a best-seller and reaches not only established numismatists, but thousands of new faces through the wide distribution channels.

Dave is seeking any anecdotes, color pictures, or other information that might be of use in describing the quarters minted from 2006 to the present year. Subjects can include launch ceremonies, distribution, or any news items. A credit will be given for any items used. Dave is on a deadline and would need contributions within the week.Contact him at: Dave Bowers, qdbarchive@metrocast.net
