That's a great piece of Numismatic Literature by one of the most astute researchers and writers in this field. It's true and sad, that many of this generation of collectors fail to recognize the talent and experience the likes of Newman, not to mention the importance of acquiring these early pieces of literature.

this 2008 edition is the new updated and corrected version with new revised pricing

 

I do not use these words lightly, but, in my opinion, this should be considerd the definitive reference on the subject. This volume, the new 5th Edition, is profusely illustrated with photogaphs of actual notes; many photos are in color. The book is well organized and is not limited to the paper money of the thirteen original colonies/states, but also includes sections dealing with Florida, Louisiana, the Northwest Territory, and Vermont.

 

Naturally, an extensive section deals with Continental Currency.This book is the work of decades of research, which is reflected in the author's discussions of multiple historical avenues. By this I mean discussions of not only the notes themselves but also their evolution and use in the colonies, perhaps better described as an introduction to Colonial economics. Counterfeiting, valuation, relative purchasing power, printing styles and processes, and the various signers of respective notes, are all discussed.

 

I must state that while this is an incredibly detailed book, it is also a very accessible book. Both novices to the field, as well as experienced collectors, will appreciate that the vast amount of information contained within it, while scholarly, does not bog down into mind numbing prose.The adage, "Buy the book, before the Note", represents some of the soundest advice that can be given to any collector. For those interested in early American paper money, this is the book to buy!!!

Why is it folks won't spend their money on a terrific book before buying the coins that are listed and described in the book? (shrug)
