here some comments

1) spelling mistake found in the book(e.g. Sweeden)

2) paste the wrong paper note of picture (page779, 1961 issue, 10 dollars) this SHOULDN'T BE the NOTE...

my opinion of this book is: NOT PROFESSIONAL enough to handle such a silly mistake...

this is a very helpful and amazing book for any money collector, and I really happy with that book

I have got a Germany 1000 Mark Year 1910 Month 21 April. Any body have want this Contact for me. My E-mail Id: auction_k@usa.net

This book is exactly as Editor writes: "Most comprehensive world paper money book AVAILABLE on modern issues...".

I would say, - there is no other, better book, so we have to use this one. I have looked through some pages of it and I already found quite a few blunders. First of all there are quite a few misleading price valuations, I would even say many price manipulations. In one half page I found two strong blunders. Kazakhstan #18 has no price values. Kazakhstan #17 has Kenya image instead. Lithuania 200 Litu 1997 are valued at $50 which is an exchange rate. Swiss latest notes are valued below exchange rate if you consider the bank exchange fee. Ivory Coast (page 828) 500 and 1000 Francs 1961-65 mysteriously disappeared. These are just few examples. I noticed many such blunders in the previous editions of this and other books. No ERRATA is being printed. Any self-respecting publisher prints errata pages and puts them in a book, or even sends Errata (corrections) pages to all their customers and book owners. The book was published carelessly. Some colourful images (not so important to a professional) were added, but what's most important is the text info and price valuations. If you make a car and make a small mistake it will crash. Same with this catalogue, if you make so many blunders, errors, mistakes, it becomes worthless of the money we are paying for it. This book is important to a beginner and as well to a professional. With so many errors and blunders it is little use of this book. We still have to use it, cause there is no other catalogue for All World's Paper Money, but making so many errors and blunders shows that the publisher of this book does not care much about what the reader gets from it. Also why not issue this book on a Compact Disc with an ability for a user to CHANGE the text ,so that everyone could correct the publisher's blunders themselves!

A great reference book for the collector

If you are a new collector of foreign paper currency, buy this book first. If you are old hand at collecting currency, this is the book you should buy every time a new edition is released. Features all new countries at the time of printing.

this book is great in term for those who very very interested in world currency and pro in this field... it may be good to own a copy of this book cause it include a lot of world money that you and me were not born yet... especially note that impress me is the CHINA's CENTURY ... it is like amazing to see those kind of note that never thought of it would be called as "money"...

anywhere this book is great... and if this book improving its' note with color than it is highly recommended...

thank you...

The book is of a great use not only for a bank note collector, but also for educational purposes, as it includes a brief history of every listed country, written numerals, dating systems even exchange rates of various countries. Paper money images serve as a great educational material about world's famous people, buildings, scenes from history and many more. Everyone may even use it for identifying various paper notes. It is really a Specialised Source!
