Updated Version of My Topps Book Now Available
 

The update has been completed and an updated version of The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938 To 1956 is now available for free download (in color).

There is now a DRM free PDF version at The Internet Archive: https://ia601805.us.archive.org/9/it...Copy%202.2.pdf

The scribd.com edition, which some people had Facebook sign in issues with, has also been updated: http://www.scribd.com/doc/126643197/...m-1938-to-1956

A seriously large number of people requested a print on demand version and one from lulu.com will be available in about a week; it's actually done but I am awaiting a review copy before I post the link. This is a black & white edition and it will sell for $24.95. I tried to do a color version but it priced out at almost $100, so abandoned any hope of that. Except for the nicer cover, this exactly replicates the free, downloadable versions. I want to to alert people thought to the fact the Scribd.com and lulu versions have some artifacts in the checklists I cannot get rid of, consisting of a whole lot of randomly thickened lines appearing within many of them. The DRM free version at the Internet Archive does not have this problem and I suspect it is DRM related.

Thanks to all of you who clicked in to scribd.com-I am at 3,500 reads and counting!

Aloha and Much Mahalos! Dave:)

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
 

Hi Dave,

Briefly perused your exhaustive work and look incredibly forward to sitting down with it to give it due time. I have done some small research projects and cannot imagine the incredible amount of time it must have taken you to compile this resource. While I am sure a labor of love, it is still nice to be appreciated. So, thank you!! For a resource that I am sure will be highly valued as long as there is a hobby. Be well.

David,

Thanks. And I have thoroughly enjoyed your blog on Topps cards as well. Great effort!

When it comes to information on Topps Dave is The Man. And coming from a born and bred St Louis guy that is meant as the ultimate compliment

Just a bump on this-over 8,000 downloads (and a few actual purchases) and some of the new guys may not know about this. It's a free color download, the book if you buy it is B&W: http://themodernhobbyguide.blogspot.com/

This is just fantastic. Thank you very much!
