Hey smoothie, 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).

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.

Great work putting this together. 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.

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

I have a copy of the "Error Revised Edition Hardcover" and I can confirm that the above are correct. 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.
