The E-Sylum:  Volume 5, Number 46, November 17, 2002, Article 2

ON BECOMING A MEMBER

  Bob Metzger writes: "For years, I have listened to National
  Public Radio.  It's always been a sort of refuge for me, a
  familiar place no matter where my physical location happens
  to be.  Thus, wherever I have lived, I have supported my
  local NPR station by both becoming a member, and serving
  as a volunteer when possible.   I can, of course, listen to the
  radio whether or not I make a financial contribution, but I
  do get some tangible membership benefits, like a newsletter,
  merchant discounts, and advance invitations to certain events.
  And it may seem corny, but I also feel a certain satisfaction
  of being part of an organization that improves the quality
  of  life.

  I've been a Numismatic Bibliomania Society member for
  probably 15 years, and have enjoyed the E-Sylum for as
  long as it has been in existence.  I could, of course, receive
  the E-Sylum without ever having joined NBS, but I have
  always found the quarterly print journal packed with
  interesting articles and fascinating facts that are beyond
  the scope of the weekly electronic newsletter. And once
  again, I also feel a certain satisfaction of being part of an
  organization that improves the quality of  life.

  Do you also enjoy the E-Sylum?  Would you like to be a
  part of the organization that makes it possible?  Please
  join us today!"

  Bill Murray writes: "Congratulations to editors Tom Fort
  and David Fanning on the first-rate Fall issue of The Asylum.
  All you readers of this email newsletter, The E-Sylum, who
  are not members of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society
  are missing a good thing.  The latest issue of The Asylum
  offers you news of NBS in President Pete Smith's message;
  a fine article, "Seven Steps to Protect Your Library" by
  Doug Andrews; "Genealogical Methods in Numismatic
  Research," by Leonard Augsburger; a story of a neat
  (should I say, "cool") acquisition, "What People Put on
  eBay," by Stephen B. Pradier; a fun piece by David
  Fanning, "Hidden Treasures in Old Literature"; and an
  annual index of The Asylum which proves what you've
  missed by not joining NBS.  Join up!"
