Question for those who buy knife books?

Hi Gang,

My book is very near completed. I was wondering what my fellow knife collectors would rather purchase if given a choice. so here is the poll.

The paperback copies will be $13.95

The hardback copies will be $23.95

Postage of course will be on top of that price.

If you were interested in a book, "NOT just this one" what would you perfer????

I am not ready to take any orders just yet, BUT VERY SOON!!!!!

Hi PA. I like hardback covers... they are much more durable. Can't wait.

Paperback for reading, hardback for looking good on my bookcase

I always buy hardback when I can. They last longer, are more durable and they look better. Just my opinion of coarse.

They aren't as easy to carry around at knife shows though!

I prefer to buy hardback books. Does that price include an autograph?

Good point knife-nut. I plan on getting one of each.

Hey David...

In honor of some of our favorite sellers on ebay.....could I get one that is half hardcover and half paperback...with a COA of course?

Looking forward to the book!

David,

I personally would like the option to purchase both but since the question was to make a choice I would rather spend a dollar or two more and get the hardback. The paperbacks made these days seem to be made to fall apart as fast as possible and I would rather have your historical work and reference in a long lasting hardback.

Thank you for asking us,

Ralph aka Sunburst

My vote was for hardback just because I "know" the author. Generally, if it's a price guide I think a paperback is fine since you will likely get future editions.

I prefer Hardback, when ever I buy a book because I do alot of

reading, sometimes a book a week and the Hardbacks have larger print

and they are much easier on these old eyes of mine!

This old man goes for the Hardbacks haveing larger print

and they are much easier on these old eyes ...

I am sure both will be the best way to go.

David, either way, I think you are going to get a severe case of writer's cramp, just signing books for all your friends.

hardback for me, can't wait for a copy

Will it be large paper back or small? I like the large paper back with big print. The small paper back could be taken to the doctor's office and read while waiting for the appointment. I tend to read more paper backs than the hard backs. Either way or both ways would be great tho.

At such a reasonable price I think I prefer the hardback for durability.
If it is a reference work that someone is referring to often, the hardback is preferable, IMO. Just think of all the dogeared copies of BRL4 you see.

I can't wait to get a copy.

Like most of the others, I'd like an autographed hard cover and a paperback for a user.

PA Knives · Post by **PA Knives** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 5:55 pm

the book will be approximately 6 X 9, both paper and hardcover. That's just the way that this company does it. if you can judge a book by its cover, then everyone will love it. Look at my avatar and it will give you a good idea as to what I am speaking of. the price guide is small as it relates to knives and razors that I have photo's of and not all Tidioute knives. That will be future project I am sure. It will give you a general idea as to value though. What I am saying is that a particular pattern with veriables will not be listed like with CASE knives. It will include a copy of the Union Cutlery Catalog from 1912 - 1924. 1912 was the last year in Tidioute. This alone is a great tool. I thought it odd that Union used the pattern # 6250 for a Sunfish, just like CASE HUMMMMM!!!!!! wonder why. I hope to have more infomation soon.

As for autographed copies. Anything for my friends here.

I even acknowledge you guys in the book at the beginning. I appreciate all of your support during this LONG process. Keep and eye out and keep posting to the poll. I want to see what everyone would rather have.

I can't wait to see this long anticipated book David!
I would be purchasing a Hard Cover if that is available!

Hi David, I would want both one for reading the paperback and the hardcover because I need to keep a new copy of my friends book in my library.

Can't wait big guy.
