NUMISMATIC BOOKS ON CD    

   Fred Reed writes:  "Regarding the first numismatic book   
  on CD-ROM,  I don't claim that "Civil War Encased   
  Stamps:  The Issuers and Their Times" was the first,   
  but it was available in 1995 on CD-ROM.  Check out   
  the back of the title page for information.    

   We burned a dozen copies as an experiment.  I only   
  had one inquiry, but the guy didn't want to pay the price   
  requested, which was more than the hard back price.   
  The book was also reproduced on microfiche but not   
  for sale."    

   Allan Davisson writes: "Question: The Scott Catalog on   
  stamps is now published on CD-ROM and is compatible   
  with Windows and Macintosh. When will Krause do the   
  same for their world coin catalogs?  As much as I value   
  actual books on my shelves, the sheer size of the Krause   
  volumes coupled with their potential utility when I am   
  traveling would seem to make them strong candidates   
  for the CD-ROM format.
