Are the presses in Guangzhou cranking up again? I see that the QDB Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia is

Longacre

I was taking a look at the Whtiman site and I see that the QDB Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia is sold out.. Does anyone know if these books are still available in the aftermarket, and are they now being sold at a premium? I assume the book is now excessively rare.

Does anyone know how big the initial print run was? Are there any plans to make a call to Guangzhou and crank up the presses again, or are we stuck with buying this book in the secondary market and paying the sellers an Obscene Profit?

Amazon has an ample supply for 32.97 with free shipping.

mine has a printing doubling error on page 7! I wonder if it carries a premium as a doubel die????

I attended Bower's seminar in Balto. last week. He said that there are a number of typos in the first edition. He also noted that it is selling very quickly, should be back in stock in a week or so and that a second editon will likely be out in a year or so with typos corrected and some other changes. "Big John" the numismatic book dealer has an ample supply (or at least he did last week).

Well I'm in Guangzhou right now. Let me know if you want me to hand carry one back to the US for you. I can hide my fake Rolex's from Beijing Rd in between the pages that way . win win ......: )...................MJ

As far as I am aware, there is no 2nd Edition at this point in time. Not sure if/when the 2nd edition will come out. Buy the first edition; it is the biggest bargain in colonial numismatics.

There is a one page list of errors, typos, etc for this book that was put out by the Colonial Coin Collector's Club and is available for free on their website, I believe.

yes CRO

that is what i was wanting the 2nd edition for, all the corrections/updates, but if there is a listing available for the typos etc, and no 2nd edition, the 1st edition it is
