Dear friends in numismatics:

I hope this note finds you keeping well and in good spirits in spite of the topsy-turvy world we now live in wrought by the coronavirus pandemic. I'm doing fine hunkeringdown at home as I keep out of mischief with my somewhat newly acquired mail-order out-of-print and antiquarian numismatic and philatelic book business (It's hard to believe,but my first anniversary as the new owner of Richard Stockley Books is fast approaching on April 29!) If nothing else I've gained a whole new appreciation for all those heroesin our midst keeping us safe and sound as they put their lives on the line for providing us with those essential services from health care and communication to finances, groceriesand refuse pickup.

I have at least a couple of customers who have asked me for those imitable, highly informative, insightful and readable Warren Baker sales catalogues. If any of you have anyspares that you may be willing to part with for a reasonable price I would be most grateful. I would be interested in any issue and multiple copies as I have virtually none instock. Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

FYI, whether or not the RCNA Convention in Halifax will still indeed be held as scheduled on July 22-25 where I plan to have a dealer table, I still intend to do my buying tourfrom Winnipeg to New Brunswick once the travel restrictions have been lifted, even if this is not until the fall. I already have stops in Toronto and Montreal on the way there andOttawa on the way back. Let me know if you'd like me to swing by your area as I'll also have some interesting material from advanced collectors in tow for sale. In themeantime, please do not hesitate to contact me with your own want and/or sell lists. As my slogan says, I'm "always looking to buy, sell or trade good material."

Thanks for your consideration.

Yours in numismatic literature, Howard
