Any way we can view a sample of a page or two? BTC

I plan to have each book come with a unique 1st page after the cover that has a number as well as a signature. This might even include a personal message. These would be printed on, and the signature would come from the pen on my Samsung Note8. Part of the reason for this is that global supply chains are and will likely continue to be clogged up, making it rather impractical for me to sign and ship a bunch of books in person as I'm in Europe currently. It was quite a mess when I did that with the 1st book, and a few ended up getting lost.


The 'II' is in reference to the fact that I released a 'First Print Edition' of Enclyclopedia of Physical Bitcoin & Cryptcurrency back in 2016, so it is in fact my 2nd time creating such a '1st print' (albeit for entirely different books). Maybe its not that clever, and I should just call it 'First Print Edition'. We will see.

congrats on your new book!

could you please elaborate about the part "They will be individually numbered and digitally signed" (concerning the First Print Edition II hardcover books)

those will not be hand-numbered & hand signed?

also, I am not quite sure if I understood this correctly. Will there be a "First Print Edition I" of your new book, or the title is just a continuation of the ‘First Print Edition’ of the encyclopedia?

wish you all the best!

subscribing for updates, well done elias

can you provide some indicative pricing?

Interesting! Hopefully there'll be a sequel in the coming years, too.

Awesome! We've all been waiting for this and we understand things take time. Just happy to see it's coming out. Thanks for your time and dedication to the project. I'll definitely be getting this and I look forward to helping and supporting your work!

Well, Pre-launch.

Presenting: BLOCKLAND: 21 Stories of Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Crypto-Currency

Author Bio, Table of Contents, and Introduction available at www.cryptonumist.com/blockland

This book is an attempt to broadly tell the story: the origin, history, culture, legends, and anecdotes, of the entire cryptocurrency industry. The book’s 400 pages, 145 sections, and 21 chapters examine different facets of the blockchain phenomenon. Much of this includes the history and happenings of this very forum. The misfit innovators, the wild stories, the scams, and all the many things that are real yet read like fiction. There are over 200 characters and 500 citations. After a year of full-time writing and research, it is in the final pre-publishing stages. This is my life's work.

Over five years ago in 2015, I announced pre-orders on this forum for the Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoin and Crypto-Currency, my first book. This consisted of 100 numbered ‘First Print Edition’ books, which helped me cover the expenses to bring the book to reality. The next year an additional 20 ‘Signature Edition’ hardcovers were sold.

Its time to renew the tradition.

In keeping with tradition, I am making available some ‘First Print Edition II’ hardcover books. They will be individually numbered and digitally signed. My intention is to ship these out several weeks before the official launch of the book. It is likely that this ‘pre-publish’ edition will be slightly different (and thus unique) than the final mass-market product.

Anticipated shipping date: July
