[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7872131, member: 105571"]As I'm sure you're aware, the book is a publication of C4. There is a description on their website but I don't think it directly answers your question. I'm not familiar with this book but I'm pretty sure that any good book on this topic will bear on your question to some degree but probably indirectly. That is because the book is probably not designed around the issue of collecting [I]per se[/I] but rather the scholarship surrounding the topic. So, you'll probably have to ferret out what information is pertinent to your area of interest since the book will probably not specifically high-light it. I am a firm believer that if you want to know about a field as varied and fraught with uncertainty as early colonials and early contemporary counterfeits, then you will have to assemble a number of different reference works. This despite the publication of many new and excellent references in the last 15 or so years. My advice is to always buy more books rather than less, even if your dive into the field will be more that of a diletante than a specialist. As a final thought, since you are a member of C4, why not direct your question to the author(s) via email to one of the club officers?[/QUOTE]
