The E-Sylum:  Volume 6, Number 34, August 24, 2003, Article 17

TOPIC OF THE WEEK: BOOKS WITH ERRORS

  Dan Gosling's topic of the week is: "Error books or
  catalogues - examples of past mistakes - their value
  or use."

  [I'd define two classes of errors in numismatic literature -
   errors of fact, and errors in production.  Production
   errors include problems with printing, binding, labeling,
   etc.   One type of mistake is when a signature is bound
   upside down, or is missing or duplicated.  Somewhere
   I have a copy of a Redbook with an entire section
   (signature) duplicated.   I would not include binding
   variants as errors - these were intentional or perhaps
   happenstance, but not errors.  What do our readers
   think?  -Editor]
