TO: VNA Members
FROM: George Cash, VNA President
DATE: February 6, 2012
SUBJECT: VNA Out-of-Print Reference Books for Sale
Recently it came to my attention that Multi-Print, the company that prints our Virginia Numismatist quarterly was storing an assortment of VNA material that had accumulated over 40 years. Bill Hoitt and I drove down to Hampton and picked up about 35 boxes containing an assortment of four different books, some bound and some unbound, that Multi-Print had printed for the VNA. The titles included:
Virginia Tokens by David Schenkman Loose Leaf Only
- Volumes I and II of Charles Affleck’s classic The Obsolete Paper Money of Virginia,
- Virginia Obsolete Paper Money, by Richard Jones and Keith Littlefield, the follow-up to Affleck’s book
- Edkins Catalogue of United States Coal Company Scrip, Volume II, West Virginia, 2nd edition Sold Out
After research and discussion with board members, it was decided that we should offer these books for sale—to be offered first to our VNA members. Enclosed is a list of these offerings along with the cost and quantity available. In order to promote fairness, these books will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis with a maximum of one copy of each title per member. The membership will have until March 15, 2012, to place their orders. After that time we will open purchasing to any and all interested parties until all have been sold. Remember that this is a first-come-first-served offer, so please place your orders now as quantities are limited.
It is the intent of your board to use the proceeds from this sale to help publish a new Virginia tokens book which will probably be available in two years.
Thanks for your help.
