Forgotten Coins Of The North American Colonies

[amergin]

I just came across this Book "Forgotten Coins of the North American Colonies" on eBay
So I decided to buy it with the CD. 

It just arrived yesterday and I am floored at this extensive study of colonial counterfeits, the book is nearly 1" thick and the coins are reproduced over sized, it a great inexpensive reference guide, and an in-depth education into how raw it was to have to manage during those early years

Amazon has two listings of book(s) with this title.  Althought "25th Anniversary Edition" (2017) is consistent with the original published date (1992), the author of the newer one is different and the number of pages (352 vs. 112) is vastly different.  Which did you get and can you shed any light on this?
