In October 2022, Manfred Dietl presented the first volume of the series "The Paper Money of Eastern Bavaria", which was reviewed here on the blog by Hans-Ludwig Besler:
https://www.geldscheine-online.com/post/neuer-katalog-das-papiergeld-ostbayerns.
This volume covers the emergency money of the present-day districts of Cham, Straubing-Bogen, and Regen, and is now out of print. The second volume, covering the emergency money in the area of ??the present-day districts of Deggendorf, Dingolfing-Landau, and Freyung-Grafenau, is now available.
All banknotes are depicted at 50% of their original size, allowing even the smallest details to be clearly seen. The author has set himself the goal of cataloging and illustrating every known variant. He thus goes significantly deeper than overview catalogs that also cover this area. This is evident, for example, in the Osterhofen banknotes, which occupy 50 pages in Dietl's catalog. While this depth of reference unfortunately comes at the cost of practical usability for collectors, Dietl's work is not a catalog in the traditional sense, where one can simply "tick off" banknotes. It is a comprehensive documentation of all emergency banknotes as they actually circulated in the three districts of eastern Bavaria.
For the first time, he also conducted an appraisal of the banknotes, without making any reference to their condition. The appraisal reflects an average price, representing an assessment of rarity, which can vary upwards or downwards depending on the banknote's condition as well as supply and demand.
Anyone who enjoys delving deeply into the variations of emergency banknotes from the aforementioned districts in Eastern Bavaria will find this work rewarding – and perhaps even take on the challenge of discovering new variations not yet recorded by the author. He is always happy to receive new information about banknotes and variations of Eastern Bavarian paper money that are still unknown to him.
