PAPERBACK - Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies

[elianite]

Will there be any eBook version of this awesome book?
I know paperback version is great but eBook will be better for diversification.

I do plan to make it available in eBook format, but that is probably 2 months out.

Sure. I'll get my hands on this one soon. 
Btw, did you include the recent coins such as Russian roulette by gravitate and the new Rose gold version of the Luckybit coin?

By 'russian roulette' I presume you meant the 'lucky coins'. They made it, but the rose gold Luckybit coins did not.

Lucky coin is this one - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1360569.0
Russian Roulette coin is a similar type of lucky coin concept with alteration of design - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1410698.0

And this one is the rose gold version of Luckybit coins - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1425710.0
They are super shiny. More than their silver variant.

Thanks Elianite for posting the pics, the encyclopedias books looks very nice.

[klondike_bar]

would love to see some photos of the pages inside, and hear some quality reviews, since paperback books can come in a wide range between 'pages are falling out and poorly printed' to 'this will last decades of use and the inside printing is perfect'

if theres a second edition at a better price point, ill almost certainly buy a copy or two

You would have to wait for people to receive their books first. I'm certain that everyone is impatient at this point (as it has been quite the wait). I can't wait for it to arrive either!

I will begin numbering and signing this weekend.

I will be stamping the books with a

SPECIAL EDITION
FIRST PRINT  
          /100

and
   
     COLLECTORS
SIGNATURE EDITION
             /25

stamps, and will write each number by hand.
This stamp could go on the front cover, on the back or inside.
Is there a general preference?

Would anyone be interested in buying a unique un-serialized 'test copy' with multiple stamps?

The test copy would likely not have a serial number, so it would be in addition to the 100. I wont promise it to anyone yet; just dont want to 'ruin' a book unless I know someone will want it

[elianite]

I'm thinking I can put the '/100' stamp on the center of the cover, right under the title. the ''/25' stamp could then go onto the top, right above the title. I don't think those 1 or two stamps would make the book look worse.
The other option would be to put both on the back, where they are 'out of sight'.

Still need to test on a book to make sure the ink sticks, of course

ok so this wouldnt be one of the numbered books let me think

I'm thinking on the 1st right hand page (1st page of paper, not the back of the cover).  I would be concerned that a stamp or hand writing smears off the slick cover.  I would also sign the books on that same place on the page of paper too.   

Thats also where I'm thinking of putting the holo for the signature edition.  A slick cover may make a holo too easy to remove.

Turns out the ink will not bond with the matte cover.
I decided to shorten the stamp, and and will now likely be stamping the SIDE of the book at the bottom, and using a 'sharpie' type marker to input the numbers.

Stamping the inside would certainly be the simple approach. Issue is that it would not be outwardly possible to determine the number, which I think many would find appealing (also helps avoid shipping mix-ups)

The signature(s) itself (and holo) would go well on the 1st or second page of the book (perhaps holo on first page, signatures on 2nd as there is more space)

I will likely be placing all stamps on the inside of the book, as it looks cleaner.
I also tested a Serpcoin and Silver Wallets hologram on the cover; looks like our hologram will be on the cover as well.

If you want to buy the TEST book, PM me. I don't really want to bother with an auction for it. Buy-it-now 0.3BTC, if no offer by sometime tomorrow I'll drop it to 0.2 btc.

EDIT: Test Copy is sold

I think stamping on the inside of the book is the right way to go.  I was concerned when you said it would be on the side, because I think it would wear off with use.

Agreed, I can always count on bithalo to talk sense into me
