Awesome news! Make sure you put a link here at the forum when it goes on sale.
I will certainly do so, with your permission. This work has been a long, collaborative team effort and would not have been possible without the help of so many---including many participants here. We have tried to combine the best information on the subject with cooperation and input from the most knowledgeable people around the globe. Many are no longer with us. It includes a wealth of information generously provided by Jon Speed, documents from several journeys to archives in Suhl, the vast archives of period literature and advertising owned by Bob Simpson and various collectors abroad, photographs and data assembled during travels and studies spanning almost half a century, and the helpful input from more individuals than can be counted. Our hope is that it will not only serve as a valuable reference, but will also inspire others to continue the job of finding and recording this information for the future.
