Wild Card Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Rick Research,I do not think that the importance of this work can be over estimated. What it means to the future of Imperial German awards research is of the highest rank.With help from George Seymour and Neal O?Connor, Eric managed to gather and reconstruct information that over a period of almost one hundred had been scattered in so many directions. Even in the best of times, all of it was never to be found in any single place. I especially appreciate your recognition of the work (hours) and sacrifice demanded by this project; but then, who could calculate and understand this better than you? I want to thank you, Paul Chepurko and all others who are making Eric?s dream come true.I suspect that this book will be in demand by advanced Imperial German collectors for many years to come. Please put me down for two copies. Thank you.Wild CardP.S. Fantastic cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Huxley Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Rick, Paul,Please put me down for one copy to be sent to the UK.It's just fantastic that Eric's work is going to be put into print for the present collectors of Imperial and more importantly those that will follow. Such dedication and research should never be lost. A fitting memorial to Eric's work.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Progress Report - The files are on the way to the printer and I should have 50 copies by the end of June or sooner. When I receive the proof copy I will be able to calculate postage for the US and Germany. The book will not be expensive!!! As I have printed ONLY 50 COPIES I will probable be taking early orders and payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yes-- even though the Lundstr?m/Krause Lippe rolls will list everybody, what Eric did working out average age at bestowal and so on is looking at things from other directions-- and as with all of HIS work will save us TIME. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
