downloadable photo guide book text

As both a new member and an auction house employee, thank you for such a great resource-fast download and easy readability...

I have your book and it's excellent! The pocket size makes it great for your pocket.

Tim, your question is good. It was originally formatted to be a paperback sized book. I'm not sure how different people will read the pdf book, though. 8x11 is best for printing, but worse for reading on a computer. I'll have to think about that ... Though, be warned, my laziness about reformatting the entire thing will be a factor I still have to proof and rearrange some out of place stuff, but the final version will be at the same place on Friday.

I concur with the board. Lightning fast download (just got windows 7 last week) terrific content and images. Well done Dr. C.

A must for all who are interested in learning what you will need to make good decisions and sound judgement when looking to purchase vintage photos.

David,

I have been thinking about getting into collecting photos, but have intimidated because of my lack of knowledge. After reading the first few pages of your book, I feel like it is a must read for me before making my first purchase. Thank you so much for making this available to me for free! I am going to print it out before I read the rest of it, and I will give you some feedback as soon as I get through. Thanks again.

David,

First of all, thank you for your wonderful work. Your informal style makes the subject matter accessible.

I glanced through, and then went back to read carefully. At present, I am only on page 40, but I noticed that you will be finalizing on Friday. Here are several stylistic and typographical errors; I thought it might help to share them with you.

P. 13, par. 2, "tarnish has come to [the] surface." P. 16, par. 2, "essential to identify[ing] and dating." P. 21, par. 3, "It just has to [be] accurately described." P. 30 par. 1, "or the archives of a magazine the [should be 'he'}worked for."

I have enjoyed reading the materials on your website, just as I am enjoying this new work. Thank you once again, and best of luck.
