5.0 out of 5 stars The standard in banknote collecting., December 2, 1999

By	[e-mail] "jshelham" (Elmira, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Paper Money: General Issues to 1960 (Standard Catalog of World Paper Money. Vol 2 : General Issues, 8th ed) (Hardcover)

This book is the only comprehensive listing of bank note issues available, along with its sister books: Volume 1 for specialized issues and Vol 3 for newer issues. It would not be possible to be an informed collector without these volumes. They inlcude photos of most of the notes, estimated values in three different grades as well as an excellent introduction to the hobby with collecting tips, grading information, an invitation to join the International Bank Note Society, etc.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nearly useless price guidance, July 4, 2007

By	J. Sanz "banknote collector" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, General Issues (Standard Catalog of World Paper Money Vol 2: General Issues) (Paperback)

The new edition of this catalogue is an extremely disappointing effort in terms of keeping up to date with price developments. A majority of the countries covered in this update have not been reviewed at all, resulting in a very misleading guide to collectors. If you have the previous edition, there is little incentive for you to buy this new edition. Editors should really put much much more effort in updating prices, or simply stop printing updates of the catalogue altogether. Changing the cover picture does not justify a new edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for banknote collectors, April 10, 2007

By	Torbjorn Fransson (Linköping, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Standard Catalog of World Paper Money, General Issues (Standard Catalog of World Paper Money Vol 2: General Issues) (Paperback)

An excellent catalogue. The only disturbing problem is that there are several mismatchs between pictures and descriptions. Unfortunately more frequent than in earlier issues.
