Philadelphia Caramel Book
 

Friends,

First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Leon, Rob Lifson, Jon Canfield, Lyman Hardeman, and Scott Mosley for their varying degrees of help with my book.

As Leon's earlier post mentioned, there will be a one-book giveaway to the winner of the monthly contest. If you purchase a copy and turn out to be the winner of the contest, you will receive a refund.

I want to welcome all visitor to my website: www.PhiladelphiaCaramel.com where you can get a feel for what the book has to offer. There is a section where you can read the foreword written by Rob Lifson, the preface and the beginning of chapter 1.

I believe the book will appeal to those interested in the early history of the confectionery trade, locals from the Philadelphia and Camden areas, and especially vintage card collectors. Containing ten black and white images and a checklist of all Philadelphia Caramel's premium cards, the book can also be used as a resource or reference for these cards.

I'd like to get an idea how many people are interested in purchasing a copy so I can place an order with the publisher. I'm planning on submitting an order on Tuesday, June 30th and should receive them back within 2 weeks. For those who pre-order, your book will be mailed out as soon as I receive them. I would be happy to sign the book to anyone who purchases a copy.

If you send a PayPal payment or e-mail to me, please be patient as I will respond to each inquery/payment.

Thank you for your attention.

Count me in for a copy. Should I paypal now or wait until you place your order?

Yes, definitely. And I would suggest posting on the Non-sports Board too. They won't hold the Baseball content against you :)

Looks great Erik, I'm in too...paypal sent!

Ordering right now - thanks for putting this together.

Erik,
First, thanks for writing this book; I am sure it will be a great resource for collectors. Second, I'll purchase my copy through your website tomorrow. Third, as I have just begun the research for an article I intend to write about certain of the Phila. Caramel cards, your book is being printed at the perfect time. I would also like to speak with you about it after I read it, if possible. Thnks again, and congrats on the book!

Just placed an order please sign. Very much looking forward to your great work

Doug

Dear Erik:

I am purchasing one as well (and please do sign).

Erik,

I couldn't help but think of your book when I read this today... It's not that humerous (as someone did die), but still...
