ASYLUM JULY-SEPTEMBER 2015 ISSUE PRINTING ERROR

Alan Luedeking writes:

I recently received my latest copy of The Asylum (Vol. 33, No. 3, Jul-Sep 2015), and now possess what every collector of rare, esoteric numismatic error literature can only dream about...not: An issue with a duplicated leaf, resulting in duplicated pages 75/76 and 85/86, and missing the leaf with pages 73/74 and 87/88. I wonder, am I the only one or did they all get bound that way? Not being a particularly assiduous collector of numismatic binding faux pas, I'd be happy to trade this pristine blundered copy for a normal copy, as I want to read the missing pages.

Well, I checked my copy and it does NOT have the error Alan describes.  Does any other Numismatic Bibliomania Society member have that problem?  	
Contact NBS Treasurer Terry White at 

terrywhite5475 at yahoo.com
 and we'll work on getting you a replacement copy.
