Authors: Elias Ahonen, Foreword by Matthew J. Rippon PHD, Edited by Howard Kesselman Website: https://coinfirm.org/ 1st Edition Paperback
https://i.imgur.com/zC2ZlXp.jpg 1st Edition Paperback - Special Edition First Print

Note: The first ~50 of the revised hardcover edition did contain an error. A glitch in the publishing software caused two of Elias' personal vacation photo's to be used in place of the Cryptolator Unchained Silver 1 BTC. The images can be seen on page 38 and 150. A second revised edition of the book was released which contained an extra page which described some of these errors.

It will definitely answer any questions of how many were issued and under what format too. Title: Re: Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins Reference Thread Post by: BitcoinNewsMagazine on January 16, 2018, 07:28:49 PM Thanks for this! This thread deserves to be stickied IMO for ready reference. How about it?

Welcome back :) Are you suggesting that I remove the note about only the Paperback Collectors Signature Edition having Mike's signature? Or is that a special version that you have there. My understanding is that the hardcover autograph editions did not have Mike's signature (which was done as a way to reward early supporters of the paperback).

Or is that a special version that you have there. My understanding is that the hardcover autograph editions did not have Mike's signature (which was done as a way to reward early supporters of the paperback). The hardcovers nor the loose label sets had Mike’s signature that I provided. You’re correct. I didn’t want to cannabalize the softcover Signature Edition. I wanted to keep that one special by having Mike’s signature only there. I’m guessing smoothie asked Mike to sign his book. Title: Re: Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins Reference Thread Post by: hybridsole on January 17, 2018, 06:24:43 PM Thanks bithalo. Went ahead and updated it to say "Only version of Encyclopedia sold containing signature of Mike Caldwell".

The only thing that I noticed that's missing is the Error Revised Edition Hardcover. There were ~50 of the first hardcover books printed with the wrong images. Not sure if these deserve their own "edition" or just as a note under the hardcover one, but the collection wouldn't be complete without them. https://wiki.coin.community/w/images/thumb/2/25/Encyclopedia_of_Physical_Bitcoins_and_Crypto-Currencies_error_images_p150.jpg/800px-Encyclopedia_of_Physical_Bitcoins_and_Crypto-Currencies_error_images_p150.jpg Title: Re: Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins Reference Thread Post by: hybridsole on January 18, 2018, 01:35:30 AM Hox - I added a note under the hardcover section pointing this out. Do you know how many images were incorrect, or if there are other identifying marks that separates these from the non-error versions?
Title: Re: Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins Reference Thread Post by: Hox on January 18, 2018, 01:53:56 AM Hox - I added a note under the hardcover section pointing this out. Do you know how many images were incorrect, or if there are other identifying marks that separates these from the non-error versions? As far as I know those two images are the only wrong ones, however they are used on two pages, 150 and 38. There are some more images and info here: https://wiki.coin.community/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_Physical_Bitcoins_and_Crypto-Currencies Title: Re: Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins Reference Thread Post by: Candsno8 on January 18, 2018, 06:39:21 AM What's the going rate for the Collectors Signature Edition?

I am not sure what else is different compared to the non-error editions, since I only have the error version. However, If you would like me to check anything else, just ask.
