OTHER BOOKS ON BANK NOTE COMPANIES

  Michael J. Sullivan writes: "In response to the dialogue on Bank
  Note Engraving Histories, I've collected this material for years.
  What I have found useful is to study both British bank note
  engraving and American bank note engraving firms.  There were
  a number of firms and individuals involved in the trade on both
  sides of the Atlantic.   Some great related titles:

  - Hewitt & Keyworth:  As Good As Gold: 300 Years of British
     Bank note Design (1987)

  - Byatt:  Promises to Pay: the First Three Hundred Years of
     Bank of England Notes (Spink, 1994)

  A bit more esoteric:

  - Story of British American Bank Note Company Limited,
     1866-1956 (Canada)

  - Smith:  James Heath Engraver to Kings and Tutor to Many
     (England, 1989)

  - Symes: Kirkwood & Sons Copper-Plate Engravers
     (Edinburgh, 1999)

  A variety of other titles are on my shelves as well."
