Sharp close-up photographs of many paper bills throughout the text and also in a 20-page section of photos only demonstrate the printing and engraving art in early America. This can be especially appreciated in this Fifth Edition because of "highly improved color capability" for reproduction of photos, as Newman notes in his Preface. This Fifth Edition following by about 10 years the previous edition was desirable also to reflect "dramatic increases in values and improved research available through the Internet."The long subtitle given on the title page summarizes the content: "An illustrated, historical and descriptive compilation of data relating to American paper currency from its concept in 1686 to the year 1800, supplemented with current collector values encompassing emissions for the geographical area now constituting the United States of America by...." Following the "by..." are historical areas of the present-day United States where paper money was issued and categories of particular entities issuing such money. The areas familiar to ones knowing American history are English, French, and Spanish Colonies and from the short period 1775-1777, the United Colonies; and after this, the United States of America to 1787. The four categories of particular entities following these historical areas are Individual American States; American Cities and Counties; Private and Public Banks; and Individuals, Businesses, Churches, etc. Some entities in the last two categories independently issued paper money up to 1800.Early American paper money draws keen interest not only because of its age. It draws keen interest also because of its association with early America, thus putting it into the perennially popular area of Americana.
