Next week's E-Sylum will not come out on Sunday as usual; Your Editor will be on the road in Orlando, FL. Time and submissions permitting, the issue will come out on Friday the 5th; if not, we'll skip a week and catch up on the 14th.

There will be a regional meeting of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society at the F.U.N. Show in Orlando, Florida, at 11:00am on Saturday, January 6, 2001. Our speaker is Mike Ellis, former President of CONECA and editor of the fourth edition of "The Cherrypicker's Guide to Rare Die Varieties." His topic is "The Proliferation of Recent Numismatic Literature on the Subject of Varieties and Errors."

Numismatic & Philatelic Arts of Santa Fe seems to be the only numismatic literature dealer scheduled to set up at the show. Art Rubino writes: "We will have about 20,000 rare, out of print, used and new numismatic, philatelic, history, and rare collectibles books, coin trays and book preservation supplies on sale at the show."

I'll look forward to seeing some of you at the show on Saturday. I'll be spending the following week vacationing with my family.
