@Wade:
I agree with you about the photos (That's one of the flaws in Courteau's work). Although, the revision you have contains about 3 to 4 times more photos than the first 10 copies I sold in the first months, because some had remarked to me that there were still several varieties that were not obvious to understand without photos. Not to mention that the number of words have also increased by about 50%.
But then there is also the limitation of the number of pages and costs. I wanted to keep the price relatively affordable, while having a book under 500g to allow shipping by Canada Post via standard service and not parcels.
Anyway, that's another subject, but thank you again...

I only seek out MS grades but I can see this fooling a lot of people.
Thank you for the bulletin (might want to make a separate post)
Hopefully you will include this in your next addition?

Regretfully, I don't have a Paypal account, so will have to postpone a purchase.

I would have liked to find a merchant to offer my book for sale at the meetings and in stores, but given the limited number of printed copies and the costs involved versus the relatively low selling price of the book, I cannot afford to do like Charlton and sell them wholesale at 50% of the retail price. But if things were to change in the event of an agreement with one or more merchants, I will share it on the forum. I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

I don't know if this suits you BCTokens? Thank you Wade. -------------------------- At the same time, just point out that the online version of the checklist (PDF) was updated, since there had been a problem with the Courteau's rarity indices when converting to this format. Sorry for the inconvenience. http://numinfo.alwaysdata.net/pdf/c...-2018-07.pdfI'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

I commend Ainsivalavie for his works. I can appreciate and know from experience the time and effort entailed to do this task.
One observation, Fifteen years ago Ingram and Marelic published several great works on some of Courteau's studies. They and others used
the term 'suction marks' to identify stray lines. In my experience, closer examination will identify most of these lines as actual 'Clash Marks.'
Lines behind the man's back mimic the shaft of the Anchor. May times the Dots below the ground are clash marks of the Anchor Rope Dots.
Many time clash marks of the Anchor Flukes are seen about the Dragon. Clash marks mimicking the Back and Rump of the Horse often appear.
etc
doug.

doug. Thank you Colonialtokens I totally agree with you, which is why when I published the second edition of my book in 2019, I specified this point for each of the varieties concerned. Moreover, this second edition has little to do with the first one described here. I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.
