Quote from: 'Bigfellani5' pid='109774' dateline='1498886894'Retail is $39.95. I am taking preorders now on my website (no imaging at this stage). Doing free postage. Use coupon code "maccas" to claim this.

Quote from: 'Nevol' pid='109762' dateline='1498868810'I just had a message from a dealer that Greg's Book, 23rd Edition, is going to the Printer on 3rd July, and barring any printing errors should be released approx 25th July. Retail price not known at this time.

Hey Bigfellani,
Do you know if the book will be out soon ?
FYI the coupon code has expired. I am okay with that as long as book will be out and available to ship soon. Cheers AP

Bigfellani5 · September 03, 2017, 03:59:23 PM

I think I set up coupon code to expire a month after the original release date. As far as I know the book went to the book last week. I am therefore guessing a week or two away unless there is another update from Greg. I will set the coupon code up tomorrow for a few more weeks so you guys don't miss out on the free postage offer

Thanks Bigfellani, once I know the book is out or have a definitive date I will order a copy ... Thanks again.

I just went to order the book on Newcastle Coins weppage and put in the "macca's" coupon code and I got this message....

Warning: Coupon is either invalid, expired or reached its usage limit!

Regards Mike

Will be fixing this today

Does anyone know whether Greg's new book will have the Possum Magic coins in it?

I doubt it.

Greg McDonald · September 04, 2017, 05:42:07 PM

Hi Everyone,

Printer started shipping books today. Most dealers should have copies in the next few days. WA, maybe next week.
No possum magic coins in the book at this stage. I couldn't add anything to the information that is currently available on the mint website or repeated on dozens of websites. It will, of course, be listed in the next book when final mintage figures and any price variations will become available. There are a few of the very recent issues that I decided to hold over until next year for the same reasons. Space is really a serious issue these days for reasons already explained.

To include the very latest issues would have meant deleting a lot of new research associated with older issues and I think most readers will be happy with the mix we have come up with.

Anyway, I hope everyone feels we've made a real effort to spruce things up.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this topic. Even well meaning criticism is fine. That's how things get fixed.

Regards

Greg

Thanks Greg, all the best with the sales. I will do my bit and order a copy soon.

Once again all my feedback or criticism is intended as constructive criticism/feedback. Glad to see you have the wisdom and maturity to accept it as intended.

Long live the macca's book.

Yep. I don't like pre-ordering books because then I'm essentially handing over money without getting anything in return, but once the books are in stock, I'll certainly buy one.
