REQ: Comments on new "Pick" catalog
I'm writing a review of the new 14th edition of the Standard Catalog of
World Paper Money, Modern Issues: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...6323/oweninkA/ As such, I would appreciate hearing what fellow collectors think of Krause's latest effort. Have you spotted any serious errors, improvements, omissions, corrections, etc? If so, please provide specific references. |

Owen - I got my copy this morning, and I think it needs a lot of improvement. I too noticed the errors and the stuff that you pointed out in one of your postings and also in the reviews at Amazon.com. It seems that while Krause does what it can to keep world coin and paper guys like us informed, they also (unintentionally) bumble with the information. Here is what Krause really needs to do to make their catalogs better and more credible: 1) Allow a 2 year period between each edition of the Std Catalog of WORLD COINS 20th & 21st Century books and the WORLD PAPER MONEY 1961- Date book. By doing this the books can be done right and information can be more accurate without the errors, deletions, and other problems that is causing the Std Catalog books to slowly lose its credibility. The current yearly cycle format is too short and puts too much pressure on the publishers. 2) Krause needs to get a panel of experts who are not on their payroll to examine the information on the books for accuracy. By doing this mistakes can be weeded out before the books go into print. If Krause could implement these ideas, it would help them greatly. Michael Doran - Doran Coins |
