With Krause being out of business is there any word about who if anyone might buy and restart the World Coin and World Banknote Catalogs? If I missed prior discussion please let me know - thanks.
But it's been my opinion all along that it will not happen and I've seen nothing to change it.
In the bankruptcy auction, Penguin Random House bought the books, the data (electronic) went to AIM (Active Interest Media's Cruz Bay Publishing) - i.e., Numismatic News, World Coin News, and Banknote Reporter, the primary publications tracking new issues.
The publishing platform has been shut down and I doubt a backup was taken, even if there is one, importing data between platforms is a massive task. Entering all the data is an even larger task.
