Sharpetoyes just gave me a link to buy this book. Written in 1919, it is very informative as well as charming. I already had a copy, made by someone I would sooner forget, but these here are bound editions and at 10 bucks, a huge bargain!!! This book is full of valuable info, if you wear hats, and tinker with them. I highly recommend it. Even if you are not into hatmaking, you will get a kick out of the arcane writing. Recommended reading. Fedorahttp://www.ivarose.com/inc/sdetail/4901


P.S. Mr. Penman, I hereby offer you my first copy of this book. I know you are interested in hatmaking. Let me know, and I will send it you ya.

I got my book from the same run as Steve.

Good book. Its really interesting to see all the chemicals that were used, and how cheap things were back then. A great deal for 10$. I paid quite a bit more for it.

Mr. Delk, that would be a big yes.

Good, then I shall ship sit tomorow. Regards, Fedora

Thanks for the tip, Steve! I just placed my order for a copy...

Steve , your a mench.


What size shoe are you?

hmmmm #### i'm gonna have to order a copy or two of this lol

Jup, got a copy from the same source as you Steve, but a bound version is too good not to have. Mine shipped yesterday It's the best book on vintage hat making I've read to date.

Thanks for sharing Fedora! I just ordered a copy.

I HIGHLY recommend this book! I, too, have a copy of the "other run" and have found it quite the resource. And at 10 bucks for a fully bound copy?! Don't pass this one up, folks!

Mine shipped today...

... and arrived in Sweden today! Fast shipping!

Not bad!

You'll enjoy it for sure. Wonder if mine is at the p.o. by now...

Regards,

Marc

Steve, thank you very much for the book. It just arrived in the mail today. You're a real mench.
You know what this is going to do now. It's going to give me so many more question to ask you and Marc.

Thanks again.

That book is a real treasure for sure. And it's a great excuse for spending COUNTLESS hours on the phone, chatting about it... Right Steve?

Looks like the demand you guys have created caused them to raise the price to 19.95. I should have acted sooner. Ahh well it is still worth buying

It really is a great book and a great reference. I'm still happy with my spiral bound edition, though.

What looks like a bound version, is also a spiral bound edition, Bink. Only the pages are larger and snow white.

Regards,

Marc

Yeah, I know. The "edition" I have comes from an infamous source, but the pages are all the same. I'm sure the current edition is a much nicer and better presented edition than what I have, but I guess I'm hapy enough with what's already on my bookshelf.

Hi Folks. I just recently learned about and joined this forum and just spotted this thread.

I was Sharptoys source for the link to this book. I had read about this book while doing archive searches in the Fedora Lounge and was motivated to track down a copy. There had been a lot of interest in this book on the FL but it was noted to be very hard to find and expensive.

I posted in the Fedora Lounge that I had found a source for a new bound enhanced copy of the original book and as luck would have it it was on sale for 1/2 price ($10) through all of November. I posted a link to it and bought a copy also - great book. And it arrived in less than a week.

Unfortunately for those who didn't get a copy in November the price went back up to $20 in December. Still worth it in my opinion!
