I know I will be preaching to the choir here, as everyone should have seen the email that the Numismatist would be available at Barnes and Noble.  To be honest I did not think my local store would have it as it is pretty small with a limited periodical section.  To my surprise though there it was on the shelf adjacent other hobby magazines that also catch my interest on the front row.  Did I forget to mention I am a train nut.Anyway the reason for the blog is that many in my own local club still have not joined the ANA so I have encourage the secretary to put a blurb in our newsletter in the hopes first it will at the least sell some magazines and secondly maybe increase membership.  Of course I am also proud to say I have an article in this issue though no one other than myself cared in the store, but hey that is alright we are all not money nuts.  So might I suggest you encourage those responsible for your local newsletter to get the word out and check your local B&N to see if it is on the shelf.  Granted you may already have the magazine so do not make it a wasted trip grab a eggnog latte in the coffee shop and people watch a bit.
