MATTHEW BOULTON WORK PUBLISHED   

   Dr. Richard Doty, Curator of Numismatics at the  
   Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., notes  
   that his long-standing research on Matthew Boulton will soon  
   be published under the title "THE SOHO MINT AND THE  
   INDUSTRIALIZATION OF MONEY".  It will be available from  
   the British Numismatic Society, Spink, and other numismatic  
   literature dealers.

THE POSTMAN COMETH   

   Your scribe can attest to the worthiness of the books announced  
   in previous issues by Pete Smith and Ronald Greene.  Their new  
   works on U.S. Medal Laws and Canadian Medallists, respectively,  
   have already arrived in my mailbox.  They're both very well  
   printed and bound, and based on my initial reading, both will  
   be useful additions to a numismatic library.  
   

NOTABLE QUOTE   

   A fact not lost on those who named the NBS journal  
  "The Asylum":   

      "There is a very fine line between 'hobby'  
      and 'mental illness'."       -- Dave Barry
