hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3645 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 10:46 pm I just purchased the 2023 edition of "The Early Paper Money of America", and also wanted to get the 1967 1st edition by Eric P. Newman, who died in 2017. They both showed up in the mail today. The 1st edition copy I got was in great condition, but had an old clipping from a newspaper stuck on the title page. It had been there a long time, as there was a stain on the blank facing page. I didn't pay much attention to it, but carefully worked it loose (there was just one tiny bit of sticky substance holding it in place). After removing it, I saw it was the Democratic ticket for the 1900 election! On the reverse side I see that the newspaper was from Seattle, as there are two prominent ads for the Third Avenue Theatre, "Seattle's Uptown Theatre". I Googled it, and saw that the theatre was torn down in 1906 or 1907 when major reconstruction was being done in that area. Before I looked at it, I assumed it was being used as a bookmark, but with it being that old it must have been a keepsake kept in the book that was forgotten about. And, yes, I did flip through the rest of the book to see if there were any other interesting things tucked in between the pages! No luck, though... Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 11:37 pm What a cool additional extra find in the 1st edition, and another great book adding to your growing library. Love to know what this book adds that is missing from what others already cover such as Paper Money of the United States that you also have to compare. Apparently Eric P. Newman, who died in 2017 must have mastered the dark side of the force to release the new edition 6 years after his death 05dT34hGRdg Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3645 Posts	Posted 09/20/2022 01:35 am Thanks, datadragon & SpeedDemonND! Quote: Apparently Eric P. Newman, who died in 2017 must have mastered the dark side of the force to release the new edition 6 years after his death In the forward, it's mentioned that Newman had started working on updates for the next edition as soon as the 2008 edition was finished, and these were incorporated into this volume along with some other edits. While I don't have (nor will I have) the 2008 edition to compare, I suspect the most significant differences are with the pricing info and likely the images in the book. Quote: Love to know what this book adds that is missing from what others already cover such as Paper Money of the United States This book only encompasses the years 1686-1800 in about 470 pages, and goes into great detail on the many types and varieties of paper money circulating in America during that time. By comparison, Paper Money of the United States dedicates only 18 pages to Colonial Currency so is basically just a short overview with pricing info. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
