PAPERBACK - Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies

[coin@coin]

I have finished going through a 20 page list of minor corrections which I have implemented. This First Revised Edition will soon be published as a hard-cover.

I will also be making an exciting announcement in the next day or two!   (something to celebrate the halving).

Stay tuned!

Is it like a new version of the book?
How updated it is in terms of latest coins?
Does it include the BTCC coins?

Will the paperback version be updated also and available soon after the the hard-cover?

Not a new version per-se, only with minor revisions (added missing commas, fixed small factual inconsistencies, clarified sentences).
I can't guarantee about the paperback; I may be able to simply 'replace' it, and keep using the same ISBN.

Looking forward to it and thanks for all the continued work on this project!

As promised, I have an exciting announcement!

In honor of the upcoming halving,
I have released an updated 2016 free Casascius eBook, that also contains many additional pages from the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies. It replaces the Casascius Guide published in June 2014, over two years ago now.
That's over 90 pages of free Content!

In essence, it is a teaser to this book. The aim is to introduce more people t physical bitcoin. It is engineered to get the reader hooked on the subject, but it does not even come close to what is provided in the paid book. Getting more people interested in our hobby is good fr everyone.

That said, spread it!

The eBook is available at www.coinfirm.org

Thank you so much for the work put into this and for making it available for free. That is the right way to spread the love about Physical Bitcoins.
I think I will have to soon get your book as well. I was hoping for the new version (maybe in 2017) if you could make a cheaper paperback version available.
We are all collectors on here so spending $89 or less, with discount, for a book can be justified.
But I was thinking for regular folks and/or youngsters that are interested in BTC having a cheaper option may be great.
You know when you buy a book for someone for their Bday or Xmas or because they have left their day job to work on Crypto full time , your book could make a nice and welcome gift.

With this I'm not saying your book is too expensive at all, from what I heard it is actually well worth the price.
I think the numbers that have been printed make the price what it is and I'm not even so sure if you could print a new 2017 version of it in colour (that's where it costs) at a reasonable price like $20/30.

Another option could be, make the book available as an eBook on the Apple and Google stores and print high quality limited editions for the ones of us that like it printed.
I mean if the eBook sells well it could sell in the thousands which may offset all your other printing costs.
I'd make sure to promote the eBook everywhere I can and if others do the same it could be interesting to see the uptake.

Story Time!

Back in April, wheresmycoin ordered a First Print edition of my softcover. Regrettably, it was lost in the mail.

So I did the obvious thing; I sent him a replacement and came to Singapore to sign it myself!

World class customer service!

He also showed me the coolest physical coin ive ever seen! check it out at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1561362.0;all



btw, I have like three or four hardcover Autographs Edition books left

[av8rjeff]

Your last post was back in January (April now), and so I was wondering if you still had any autographed hard cover copies left?  Also, any new revisions in the works for 2017?

Cheers,
Jeff

You should contact minerjones for purchasing a new copy.  He should have a few AE hardcovers left.  I also have spare sets of labels that one could add to a regular hardcopy to make a similar item.  See my signature.

With regards to the next edition, we are discussing whether to make another a new version for 2017.  It depends on the demand.

There are a lot of new coins for 2017 (released and still unreleased) so I think there will be quite a demand for a new version. I would be interested in one if pricing is not too steep.

I won’t be very involved in the project this time, however I did submit a list of the new coins to those involved to add since the last edition.  I believe it will mainly be handled by Habbear, krogo and minerjones.  Elianite can discuss as well.  I don’t have a timeline at this point.

[monkeynuts]

Looking forward to seeing it

Thanks bithalo. No timeline at this point unfortunately. As some of you know I have spent the past 6 months working on a startup project, so my attention is limited. I do however have some great people around me to help with the next edition.

With this I invite anyone with a serious interest (ie. wanting to commit 100+ hours) in research / writing / photos / etc. to contact me and perhaps you can participate in the creation of the next edition.

Are you still keeping track of coins?
I would like to find out how many of the ones I have are still unredeemed, but can't figure it out myself.

What do you mean unredeemed? Go to www.uberbills.com to check the loading btc for your coins.

The Encyclopedia covers all the coins made in detail..it will not tell if your coin is still loaded or not.

Look at this as an example https://imgur.com/dId1GIp

What's the discount for forum members for the initial edition?
95$ is kinda pricey.
