Yes, it's produced by Krause Publications, the same folks that do the Krause coin catalogues. Perhaps not surprisingly, it's called the "Standard Catalog of World Paper Money". The original editor/contributor was Albert Pick, so the catalogues are known as "Pick" and catalogue numbers are known as "Pick numbers" (abbreviated P#).
It currently comes in three volumes: Volume I, "special issues", semi-regular and semi-official notes issued worldwide. Things like Philippine Insurgency notes, Mexican civil war notes, German Railways notgeld, Russian Revolutionary factions, things like that. Volume II contains the "general issues", normal banknotes issued from the earliest days of paper money up to 1960. Volume III contains the "modern issues", 1960 to date.
Most world banknote collectors find most of what they need in Volumes II and III; Volume I only has the "weird stuff".
