Guy Kraus' Mississippi Obsolete Notes & Scrip
Anyone else buy a copy of this earlier this year?
It was a pre-publication venture advertised in late August. Presumably Denlys and Hugh Schull have some copies for sale. The author is Kraus (no E) whom I believe is no relation to "the" Krause and this effort was "I believe" published by SPMC; no publisher was attributed. My copy arrived a few weeks ago and I just managed to spend some more time with it. It was presented as a followup to the L. Chandler Leggett, Mississippi Obsolete Paper Money and Scrip (Krause Publications, 1975) publication. I've been told this was a result of a nearly 20 year labor of love between the author and his subject. As a supplement to the Leggett book and Wismer and Muscalus references, it's a great "spackle" publication in that it fills many of the blanks left to date. As a compendium publication by itself, very nice. Not nearly as comprehensive as I would have imagined it to be and with far fewer photos than any collector would like, still a worthy addition to any Obsolete library. If my ship ever does come in and time becomes NO problem, I've always thought about publishing the ultimate New York reference to Obsolete PM, not so much scrip, as was recently done by Gordon L. Harris, New York State Scrip & Private Issues (2001). Always here for my fellow syngraphist or oenophile. --=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=----=*=-- |

Anyone else buy a copy of this earlier this year? I got my copy about 2 months or so ago. Pretty good overall. I believe the total number printed was restricted to the amount that was pre-ordered. Dealers such as Shull and Denly would probably have ordered extra copies for inventory. |
