Is it possible to see what the 5th page of this particular book looks like?

Want to see if there is a page w/ 2x black and white photos showing the "errors"

You mean literally the 5th page?  The 5th page is a blank page, right before that is a copyright notice, and after that page is the "these coins are the lasting physical evidence" page.

Yes I have the same blank page on my 2016 Premium revised edition. In the standard 2016 revised edition that blank page shows:



Pictures are higher quality in the Premium revised edition.

FWIW this hardcover Premium Revised Edition seems to becoming rare. No longer for sale direct from Mr. Ahonen: he is only selling the standard revised. You want the better pictures in the Premium edition. Good luck with the auction!

While we're checking pages can you check if this has the image errors on page 150 & 38?

Perfect!!!

It does not matter if it is a "Premium" or "Regular" print...  and both copies are marked as "Revised Edition", as the hardback was revised from the paperback.

The copies w/ blank pages are considered 1st print. There were less than 50 of these books made and distributed.
Most of these copies were distributed early as makers and autograph editions.

The copies w/ the black and white photo page highlighting the errors would be a 2nd print copy.

Lol nice, did not know that. Just checked mine and page 5 is blank and page 150 has the 2 vacation pictures on it.

I did not know that!  Shocked

I think this auction just got a whole lot more interesting  Tongue

As far as I know this is the first error book to be auctioned/sold.

0.013

Edit: There were about 50 of these error books that made it into the wild. I know some of these were printed with the standard colors, I wonder what the breakdown of each is.

The lowest you can buy these new on Amazon is over $200 now and there is no guarantee you will get one of the first 50 with the error pages.

I can get you a rough estimate soon, as I can check the inventory records from when I received the books Cheesy

MJ:

Do you have any figures on total production for the various editions of the Encyclopedia? I have always been curious about that. @frankbitcoin sorry to derail your thread. E.G. if 1000 of the Revised Premium were printed and there were only 50 error books that increases the value to collectors.

While we're checking pages can you check if this has the image errors on page 150 & 38?



Ha! I just checked my only copy, and it's the hardback with the error photos. That's funny stuff. Love it! Grin

Edit: There were about 50 of these error books that made it into the wild. I know some of these were printed with the standard colors, I wonder what the breakdown of each is.

Wait! There are two different color editions to the 1st Print error book? OMG. Please explain. This is getting uber confusing. LOL

Regards,
Me

EDIT: Elias' next book should be "The Encyclopedia of the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies."
