Reprint without illustrations - not useful
4 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this book might be a useful text for my summer seminar course on counterfeit paper, so I ordered a copy. I should have noticed the ellipsis in the title.
The full title of this book is "How to Detect Counterfeit Bank Notes: or, An Illustrated Treatise on the Detection of Counterfeit, Altered, and Spurious Bank Notes with Original Bank Note Plates and Designs, by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, Bank Note Engravers, of New York." You may have guessed by now that it was published long ago - in 1861. I already own a first edition (1856). Needless to say, it is completely worthless for my intended use, particularly since no attempt was made to reproduce the plates, even in crude modern reproduction. The plates are essential to the educational value of the work.
No place in any of the listings for this book on Amazon or another prominent book site does it say that it is a print-on-demand copy of a 150-year-old work - or that it is missing four pages of illustrations. I returned the book for a refund, as much to make a point as to get my money back, since I had to pay for shipping both ways.
The vendor, sbd, did not acknowledge having received the return until I prodded them 17 days later (12 days after the USPS had delivered it to them). It took them four more days to issue the refund. I won't be shopping with them again.
