The one major error was in the CryptoVest section, where it was wrongly associated with a UK investment fund with the same name. These errors were fixed in the revised edition. The first ~50 of the revised hardcover edition did contain a new error. A glitch in the publishing software caused two of Elias' personal vacation photo's to be used in place of the [[Cryptolator Unchained Silver 1 BTC]]. The images can be seen on page 38 and 150. Due to being the first books printed, these error books were used for the Autograph Edition. A second revised edition of the book was released which contained an extra page which described some of these errors. == Error Images == <gallery> File:Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies error page.jpg File:Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies error images p150.jpg File:Encyclopedia of Physical Bitcoins and Crypto-Currencies error images p38.jpg </gallery> [[Category:Releases]]
