Comments:

Many years of research and in depth study have gone into the creation of this book. Hundreds of auction catalogs, press reports, dealers records (and dealers memories) and collectors have been consulted in an attempt to consolidate as much information as possible into a concise format. Many "closet" collections have remained locked away for the majority of the later half of this century and some of them undoubtedly contain error notes that were not previously reported. The Grinnell sales of 1944 to 1947 spread the most significant error note holdings of that period across the globe and today (over 50 years later) many of these notes have not yet publicly surfaced. These facts make it apparent that no text on this hobby can ever be complete.
