First, as this is my first email to you, let me take the opportunity to thank you for yourefforts for the NBS and The E-Sylum in particular. With numismatic literature, I think Ihave found my "home" in the hobby. I joined NBS early this year and am enjoying ittremendously.

I have a question on which the E-Sylum readers might be able to assist.

I am wondering if there are any indices or compilations of the various numismatic literatureauctions of the last few decades (listing by author and title, then listed by auction and lot withadditional details per lot as needed). I know Charles Davis' American NumismaticLiterature has many listings for past sales, but it necessarily does not list every lot and ofcourse is over 20 years old so misses many new listings.

Such indices would be very helpful for literature researchers, I think.

If no such indices exist for the catalogs, I am considering compiling them myself. I wasconsidering starting with The Money Tree auctions (about 25,000 lots). I just wanted to check tosee if anyone else is working on such a thing (so as not to duplicate effort), if such referencesdo not already exist.
