Got my letter from Greg today. Supposedly out in June. I don't have imaging yet and strange letter did not have an rrp. Going by Renniks will be $40.00.
Thanks for update Shane
Talking about books, can't find the Rennicks Error Catalogue anywhere here in Melbourne.
Rennicks error book hasn't been distributed yet
Is there an ETA for Maccas yet?

John Thomas doesn't have this catalogue,no retailer does.
HI Team,
Book goes to the printer on Monday. The actual disc went to the printer three weeks ago but I got the news that the 3000+ pics were missing from the pages. I know enough about Photoshop that you don't change the name or description of an image otherwise the computer doesn't recognise it. Last year I updated my computer and the store guy showed me a feature called "Sharpen More" . I tested it on a new coins and banknotes and I couldn't believe how much sharper many of tyne images looked . With a few more tweaks with brightness and toning adjustments, the images were sensational. I decided to spend a few months updating all the pics. I was careful not to change the description or even more the images around the file. Despite everyone's advice that all would be good, even the subtle changes were enough for the computer to think every image was new. There has been a lot of midnight oil, in-between countless calls, emails etc, to relink all the pics. Bigest problem was when I tried to relink the polymer banknotes. I got a message that due to counterfeit issues I had to get permission to use the images. Easy done but still time I needed to finish the book.
SAS I write this I have 80 pics to go so hope to finish the process over the weekend. After that I hope I don't have to look at the image of a coin for a few months.
I appreciate all the interest and support the 22nd is attracting. I've done a mile of work to expand the information, make the layout easier to read and include as many of the suggestions and corrections members of the forum and others have suggested.
The book is being printed in Canberra and the only possible problems we might have relates to really cold weather s- As we have having. This can slows down the ink drying process or affect the temperature of the
glue used to bind the book
Anyway barring a low flying pink elephant crashing into the building in coming days, the book should be on the streets between July 10th and 15th.
Will keep you posted.
Regards to all
Greg
Thanks for the hard work. Look forward to getting a copy!
Thanks so much for the update on your book Greg :)
I pre ordered mine a while back, looking forward to the book as always Greg :good:
Thanks for all of the positive feedback.
Much appreciated
Greg
good work
so if it's being printed in Canberra maybe I could try for 'local pick-up'!! ha ha
Tell you what Robbiegal,
If you drive a truck and will be heading south you could pick up a couple of pallets. LOL
Greg
ha ha
no truck I do have a Honda jazz (with a new tow bar for the pushbike rack) and live southside!
Sods law
darn it - there goes the free pick-up
looks like I will be doing my regular buy from Howard at the scout hall coin fair ...... coin club member discount ... sometimes
Well done macca I have no problem paying full rrp to pay for your hard work
Thanks Guys,
Speaking of cars; my first one was an EH Holden. Built like a tank. It cost me $100. I showed it to a mate who said I got a bargain. He reckoned that it had at least $1000 worth of rust in it!
Mine was an old HB Torana.Not as cool as I would have liked
Mine was an FC Holden. I had never driven a manual shift before but got the hang of the clutch quickly. Problem was, every time I stopped at traffic lights, I stalled it because I would forget to change back to first gear!
Followed by an EH Holden -sold it in 1975 for $250. It would be worth in excess of $10,000 now (in the condition it was then).
Off Topic now
not really - Greg is a big car fan
I'm still waiting for my copy from Downies to arrive yet.
Greg has explained the book delay so its at the printers now that's why Downies or anyone doesn't have it
For the Moderators:
As the catalogue is now out, can this thread be archived?
But first I'd like to know if the error on page 114 of the 21st edition was fixed or did it also end up in the 22nd where the list of 2 cents starts with the 1976 and the goes to 1966 and onward, only just noticed it today when looking at some 2 cent coins so referred back to book and though it was strange it started with 76 or am I missing something.

21st Edition page 116 did certainly did omit the 1966 - 1975 2c coins
20th Edition page 116 didn't omit it
22nd Edition page 129 is up to date

I agree the 2009 Brisbane Coin Fair overprint is recognised as an official RAM release
