The long awaited Volume 1 of the 7th Edition of the Bilodeau Guide to Canadian Tire Money has finally been updated.

The Guide contains the usual "Regular issues" including sections on the Gas Bar, Store, Lubritorium and Simard coupons, along with the usual CTC historical preface. In this jam-packed issue, we have added a short history of Ovide Bilodeau, our forward-thinking founder. We have also added a section on grading paper money and after each section we have included a check-list for your convenience. A short note for the different varieties found in each section of the Guide has also been added.

All the information pertaining to each series can now easily be found on the same page, to save having to jump from one page to another for prices and high-low numbers. The prices have been adjusted to better reflect the current market value of the different coupons.

The format has been changed from 5.5" x 8.5" to 7" x 8.5" so that more information can be packed onto the same page. There is even a possibility to get an enlarged 8.5" by 11" copy, for those of you who have trouble with smaller print sizes, for an extra $10.00. But the larger size means you get more "Bang for your buck" or as the CTC slogan goes, "We make your dollars go farther".

As with everything else in life nowadays, inflation obliges us to up the price. It has increased to $29.95 from $23.95 to help defray the extra postage, which is included in the price, and printing costs.
