I purchased a copy of the new 7th Edition (2011) of the classic Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian "Chartered" Bank Notes on eBay last week. It arrived yesterday and I spent much of the afternoon perusing it. It is a truly magnificent work that is absolutely essential to any collector of this material. The catalogue prices of scarce and rare notes have been increased across the board to bring them into line with current market values and recent auction realizations and in many cases these increases are very significant indeed (many notes have been increased in value by two, three or more times relative to the 6th Edition). In addition, as usual, there is a lot of new and valuable research information in the new edition.
The retail price printed on the back cover is CDN$99.95 and that's exactly what I paid for my copy on eBay (plus $18.00 Expedited Parcel Shipping). This book receives my very highest recommendation.
