NEW BOOK: FORBES LITHOGRAPH CO. IN WWII

Another book announced at MPCFest XV is based on a very rare book produced by the Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company, which printed over 4 billion Allied notes during World War II. The new book is available on eBay, but quantities are very limited. Below is the eBay description. -Editor

Forbes Litho book cover Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company in World War II: Now I it can be told ... Insider's draft
by Cuneyd Tolck and Fred Schwan

This is a very interesting brand new book. It was released on May 3, 2014 at MPCFest in Port Clinton, Ohio. It was years in the making by the authors and other well-known collectors. Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company printed over 4 billion Allied notes during World War II. At the end of the war, the company produced its own history of its work during the war. The book is huge with many actual products attached to the pages (including the some of the notes).

This new book by collectors Cuneyd Tolek and Fred Schwan is the story of Forbes during the war AND of that remarkable book produced by the company.

The original Forbes book includes great and detailed photography of the Allied military currency in production and details that were not known to the collecting public until now. The new book reproduces every page of the original in full color with additional information and commentary as appropriate.

The authors believe that fewer than 10 of the original Forbes books were produced. Only 50 numbered copies of the new book have been produced. Only four remain, so if you want one of these interesting new books, you should jump on it right away.
