Received E-Sylum v18#43, enjoying it immensely.


As a fellow "tech writer," specifically for government IT systems, I'm glad you like the style of the E-Sylum columns.

Seems to me that most all magazines now days are 80% adds and 20% information. Percentages are just a guess, but the adds seem take up way more than half of a magazine.

I'd still rather look at coin-related ads in numismatic publications than the fashion, drug and car ads in other magazines.

Here in Russia, there's a craze of "get a new cool foreign coin every week/two weeks" sort of magazines (okay, okay, there are only two, but there are plenty of similar ones for other collecting subjects); the only one I ever tried to "subscribe" to (it was more a case of nice relatives buying each new issue for me) provided a nice long description of the week's coin, as well as some articles on unrelated numismatic topics.
It also came in a pretty cover that I didn't want to pull apart for fear of losing the slip with the coin

...By issue 120 or so, the nice relatives themselves got tired of buying the issues that I hardly ever read anyway, so I don't actually have anywhere near a full set. The price had also climbed up since (though it actually became slightly lower if we're counting it in dollars... about $5 per issue now, used to be $6 or so a few years ago).
I think that magazine's on something like issue 293 by now; could well be 193 - don't exactly remember.
The name is Monety I Banknoty (Coins and Banknotes), incidentally. The other one is called Monety I kupyury mira (Coins and paper money of the world).

january1may-Thanks for sharing that experience. It's nice to hear from a collector in Russia (who, by the way, writes extremely well in English). Sometimes, I forget that we have friends who collect in every corner of the world.

Separate subject, To a certain Pillar of the Community:
Hmmm...35 post on this Hot Topic that "We've already done this." Sounds like it was time to do it again. Jack

True story. One of my other hobbies is woodworking, and while the ads-to-content ratio isn't as bad, I still enjoy reading the woodworking-related ads.

Congrats on 1k posts, january1may!

Just a note over at the Newman Numismatic Portal, all the back issues of Gobrecht Journal, C4 (Colonial Collecting), the Asylum have now been scanned and posted for free - read online or download.

I'm still looking for a few of the Asylum issues (see my want list link below), even though I have them in PDF now, I am trying to complete the set to have hardbound.
