Hox - I added a note under the hardcover section pointing this out. Do you know how many images were incorrect, or if there are other identifying marks that separates these from the non-error versions?

As far as I know those two images are the only wrong ones, however they are used on two pages, 150 and 38.

There are some more images and info here: https://wiki.coin.community/wiki/Encyclopedia_of_Physical_Bitcoins_and_Crypto-Currencies

I have a copy of the "Error Revised Edition Hardcover" and I can confirm that the above are correct. I am not sure what else is different compared to the non-error editions, since I only have the error version.

However, If you would like me to check anything else, just ask.

There were also some heading and spelling error that have since been fixed in the 2nd printing
The 2nd printing has a special page added that showcased these errors....

Great work putting this together.

The only thing that I noticed that's missing is the Error Revised Edition Hardcover. There were ~50 of the first hardcover books printed with the wrong images. Not sure if these deserve their own "edition" or just as a note under the hardcover one, but the collection wouldn't be complete without them.

Thanks bithalo. Went ahead and updated it to say "Only version of Encyclopedia sold containing signature of Mike Caldwell".

Hey smoothie,

Welcome back

Are you suggesting that I remove the note about only the Paperback Collectors Signature Edition having Mike's signature? Or is that a special version that you have there. My understanding is that the hardcover autograph editions did not have Mike's signature (which was done as a way to reward early supporters of the paperback).

The hardcovers nor the loose label sets had Mike’s signature that I provided. You’re correct. I didn’t want to cannabalize the softcover Signature Edition. I wanted to keep that one special by having Mike’s signature only there.

I’m guessing smoothie asked Mike to sign his book.

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.

This is an awesome reference! Thanks Hybridsole.

It will definitely answer any questions of how many were issued and under what format too.
