Krause 2015: Missing Pages & Countries?

It is highly likely Krause has done a complete run of books with that error: It isn't surprising!

Krause has been loosing its credibility with a significant number of non USA based collectors for some years now. It now has a reputation for perpetuating mistakes and failing to make corrections even when advised. As for answering emails and communications I gave up waiting for responses 6 years ago( I checked my records)

I know one well respected numismatist who requested that his name be removed from the credit list because he no longer wanted to be associated with the publication. He saw such an association as now being a liability. My understanding is that it is not the staff who are the problem rather the owners of the publication. When they took it over they reduced the staffing levels and treated it as a cash cow. They do not seem to have made the investment necessary to keep the publication current and worthwhile.

Edit: I checked their Website: the 2015 catalog is no longer listed! I suggest you contact you bank and cancel the credit card payment to them and send it back with a letter explaining your actions. You will get a faster response that way than waiting for a reply.

Edit 2 Check out the Amazon Feedback http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Cata...+6th+Edition

I bought the book 5 months ago. Canceling the credit card transaction at this point is impossible, and also I wouldn't want to do that. I got a spectacular deal of 5 volumes for just $99 plus $11 international shipping. The post office employees couldn't believe the gigantic package. I've paid higher shipping for a 2 oz. envelope with a single coin it, on occasion. Returning it could cost me more than the cost of that book.

I didn't notice the missing pages until I wanted to look up a Romanian coin I saw on ebay and found out that the entire country of Romania is just not there. I read the Amazon reviews about other problems that I didn't stumble upon yet.

I think the publishers, in an attempt to drive the price down, are seriously skimping on quality control.

If you purchased the book with a credit card, I suggest that you dispute the charge. As the product you received was defective.
