It would be helpful if you told us what NBS Asylum issues are.

Sorry, the Numismatic Bibliomania Society (NBS) Newsletter (The Asylum). For those that aren't members you should all at least join the free weekly (Sunday night) newsletter (E-Sylum) that the NBS puts out. Wayne Homren is our editor and has been putting these out every week since 1998. It's a great newsletter not at all only on literature, but covers many fascinating points and stories in the field of numismatics world wide. You can see the entire archive of back issues and subscribe here: https://www.coinbooks.org/esylum/index.htmlI get the weekly email, but usually end up reading it at the linked website page as it's formatting is generally better than it is in email format. Lots of photos included, reviews of new books, auction catalogs, interesting stories found, quizzes and each week I learn at least something new, without fail. The entire run of the NBS Asylum is also found in PDF at the Newman Numismatic Portal but having my hard copies allows me to have them hardbound in a set. Something I've wanted to do for awhile now. I have an entire run of Rare Coin Reviews (Bowers & Ruddy/Merena) as well as a complete set of Numismatic Scrapbooks too. I've thought of doing the Rare Coin Reviews but it would be prohibitively expensive to complete a hardbound set of all the Scrapbook issues. It's around 41 years or so at 12 issues every month. Right now they are stored in boxes that take up at least 8 linear feet of shelf space, so that's not happening. NBS Asylum at the NNP - https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/publisherdetail/2101

@westcoin: Congrats on completing the NBS set! I too enjoy adding periodical titles to my bookshelf and have worked on several sets over the years. It's always a good feeling when a set is completed!
