[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 899354, member: 24274"]I was finally able to track down a copy of "90 Years of Security Printing: The story of the British American Bank Note Company Limited, 1866-1956." Couldn't find a purchasable copy, so I did the next best thing and checked one out through interlibrary loan. This arrived from the University of Windsor Library today! I didn't scan the whole book, but thought I'd share the most interesting parts. The text is mostly self-promotional with a little background history of the company and a basic description of the printing process. Apart from the front and back cover, which are intaglio printed, there are four plates with numerous vignettes, including several I've posted already in another thread: [url]http://www.cointalk.com/t104589/[/url] The only thing I still can't figure out is why they put this book out in 1956. It doesn't coincide with any Canadian celebration I'm aware of and they could have easily waited until 1966 for their centennial.[/QUOTE]
