The
American Numismatic Society has, alas, revised and delayed the publication date for Coinage of the
Ptolemaic Empire II by Catharine
Lorber. When the forthcoming publication was announced here on September 18, 2023,
ANS began taking pre-orders shortly after and said that the books would begin delivery by end of October, 2023 or early November, 2023. This past week, however, when volumes were expected to be delivered, the
ANS announced yet another delay in this process. The delivery of printed volumes is now expected early in 2024. The important 'second half' of CPE has already been delayed for various reasons over a period of several years and just when it seemed the actual print publication was in sight we are now informed of further delay.
