Interest,

FWIW  I would suggest getting in contact with Ebay seller   seamining   in Oakleigh, Victoria.

My understanding is that that seller is selling off the estate of Harold Peake over a number of years.

They may be able to throw some light on your question about the various blocks or steer you in the right direction.

Remember that Harold Peake was in dispute with the RBA for a number of years following the release of the 1988 Bi-Centennial $10 note, claiming unfair treatment of collectors in favour of RBA employees, many of whom made substantial profits on-selling the various blocks, strips, half sheets and full sheets.

Cheers

Keep your eye on ebay - that's where I got mine and I remember seeing a second copy after I got mine.

Interest,

Keep an eye out on some of the upcoming Auction Houses catalogues.  From time to time the book appears.

Museum Victoria Library has a copy - you may "possibly" be able to arrange an inter library loan or even an electronic copy (subject to copyright of course).
