Peterson pipe video

I received the go-ahead this weekend to post the The Peterson Pipe book preview video we presented at the Chicagoland pipe show a few weeks ago, and here it is:   If you want to show it at a pipe club meeting, have the president of your club get in touch with me about the possibility of a higher-resolution image. Our publisher also updated the home page at Briar Books Press with the following information about the book’s publication: For the past eight-odd years Mark Irwin and Gary Malmberg have been chipping away on a manuscript for a book, that when it's published, will be known as The Peterson Pipe, the Story of Kapp & Peterson. So how far along is the effort? is a question I field regularly from the many "Pete Nuts" in Pipedom. Very far along. In fact, as the book-building process goes, excitingly near the finish line. We can't smell printer's ink or feel the smoothness of the text, but using a baseball analogy, the entire work is rounding third base. Editing is somewhere around 90 percent complete. Layout of the fifteen chapters and two appendixes--some 350 pages, gorgeously crafted by Marie Irwin, is completed. What's left to do? A third and final global edit, a dust-jacket design, and then it's off to a professional indexer. I hasten to add that owner and CEO of Peterson, Tom Palmer, has written a very heartfelt foreword to introduce the work. And no stranger to the American pipe collector, pipeman and author of several pipe books, Rick Newcombe has penned a prelude that truly portrays why Peterson is such a fine smoking instrument and collectible still after some 150 years of continuous production. An official release and book signing at Chicagoland 2019 is not out of the realm of possibilities. $TBA And now you know as much as I do. Okay, back to work. . . .
