The information in that book was already becoming obsolete when it was borrowed from the library 50 years ago.

When I was a kid the only coin books to be found at my local public library were a 10-year-old Red Book and such mass-market products as the one cited above. These invariably were authored by the likes of Burton Hobson, Fred Reinfeld and similar writers-for-hire, but at least they seemed to validate my choice of hobby.

That's a nice letter. Let's see...if the fine started at 1-cent per day, and doubled each day, what did the borrower have to pay 50 years later?

I like that they are going to display the book and the letter. That is a much better use of the book than just putting it back on the shelf or selling it as surplus/obsolete material.

What a sweet story.

Thank you for sharing.

I took out many books like that, when I was a child.... that could have been any one of us.
