Is it a mid-year thing? I think it is but it's been a few years since I bought a Renniks.

Renniks doesn't come out every year, but at the whim of whoever is the publisher at the moment. My last Renniks was the 24th (July 2011) edition, which is the one the Renniks website is currently selling (http://www.renniks.com/main.aspx?pageid=15&cat=&pid=89). You'll notice on the cover that it's "47th year in print" but only the "24th edition", so they average every two years or so.

They have asked for advertising. My guess is therefore early to mid next year.

I bought the little 'pocket' size (for big pockets) guide that came with the hard cover
? was that last year's edition
just checked 2011
'Rennicks Australian Circulated Currency Values'
1st edition

dealer was selling them separate from the hardcover version that they were packaged with
price tag has "latest version" on it
  navy blue background

but, there isn't quite the coverage of the larger book i.e. mint sets etc
ok for a pre-dec collector and maybe the notes guys

I Would ever throw a catalogue out lacey. They can be valuable references and you can also get a rough gauge on value trends by looking at old catalogues.

You can also look back through the guides and see when a mistake was made and watch it carried through every edition after :dodgy:

I've bought several old Rennicks issues dating back to the 60's and 70's and 80's to see what the long term trends are.They are very interesting reading

I have the 43rd and 47th ed and I find it good to see what has gone up and come down, most things go up by an average of $5 between issues and yes PP I'd imagine the ones inbetween have the same errors as mine. Guides are good but have you must remember they are only guides and make mistakes and not always have all info :)

Thats true too AJ but they should fix their mistakes, not carry them over for each and every issue after.
