Rotographic titles
Below and on the following pages is an illustrated list of some
of the out of print Rotographic titles from the mid 60's to the
1990's. It's ironic that some of these books about
collectables, are now a little collectable themselves! All the smaller
pictures link to larger images when clicked. This list is by no means
complete because over the years it was not possible to keep copies of
every title. If you have a Rotographic title that isn't on this list
please let us know! email

The 1960's
The Check your Change series was the
most successful series of booklets on coins in the 1960's. All titles
were written and researched by Richard Marles. WANTED: A 1st
edition "Check your Change No.1"! email
if you have one.
 Check
your Change (Revised edition) No.1 of series. Printed mid 60's
This slightly shabby copy of
"Check Your Change" Revised edition is assumed to be
the 2nd edition and lists coins up to 1965. This book was
donated to the Rotographic archive by Mr D Ayling-Smith, who
provided input 40 years later, for the 2005 (32nd) edition of
"Collectors' Coins Great Britain 2005! Format: 32 pages, paperback,
12.3x7.7cm.
 Check
your Change (3rd edition) No.1 of series. Printed late 60's
The biggest selling book in the
history of Rotographic. 'Check your Change' offered coin market values
for coins that would commonly be found in circulation in the late
60's. British Halfpennies - Half Crowns dated 1902-1967. Farthings (demonetised
1960) and commemorative crowns were not covered, nor were gold coins. Format:
32 pages, paperback, 12.3x7.7cm.
 Check
your Change (4th edition) No.1 of series. Printed 1969
At the time of writing (August 2005)
this 4th edition is the latest edition of Check Your Change No.1 that
I've been able to track down. Was this the last edition before
decimalisation slowed sales drastically? Or was there a 5th, produced
in the early 70's just before decimalisation? Eyes peeled. Format:
32 pages, paperback, 12.3x7.7cm.
 The
Check your Change Companion (1st edition) No.2 of series. Printed late
60's
To compliment the 'Check your change'
No.1, this book offered market values for British coins dated 1902 -
1965 that were NOT usually found in circulation. Essentially this book
covered Farthings, Maundy money, Crowns (which were really
commemorative/special coins) and gold coins. Format: 16 pages,
paperback, 12.3x7.7cm.
 The
Check your Change Companion (?2nd edition?) No.2 of series.

12.3x7.7cm. For the first time, this edition has a new SBN (the
forerunner of ISBN): SBN 901170 05 4.
 Check
your Victorian Change (1st edition) No.3 of series. Printed late 60's
The same format as 'Check your
Change', this book stretches further back to cover the Victorian
period (1838 - 1901). This book offers market values for all

 Check
your Bermuda Change (1st edition) Alternative No.1 of series. Printed
late 60's
Produced solely for the Bermuda
market as an alternative to the 'Check you Change' No.1 British
edition, although the contents are very similar. Covers the standard
British coinage 1902-1968 that was legal tender on the Island, as well
as the small range of Bermuda coinage. Format: 32 pages,
paperback, 12.3x7.7cm.
 Check
your Irish Change (1st edition?) No.6 of series. Printed approximately
1969.
Re-discovered in August 2005, this
booklet simply did not exist in the late 60's archive, so very little
about it is known! It is clearly the forerunner of "Collectors'
Coins Ireland" and is mentioned on the back of "Check Your
Change No.1, 4th edition. Format: 32 pages,
paperback, 12.3x7.7cm.
