I got mine today and it exceeded any expectations I had in my mind. Great job Perry and thank you for doing this so we all can enjoy this remarkable piece of history.

Hello Roger, glad you like the catalog. It took awhile, but I wanted it like I wanted it.

Will, I still have more catalogs. How many you want, 3, 4, 5, just holler. :) ;)

Perry, I got my copies a couple of days ago. Been paging through it ever since. There are alot of thing that I've never seen, and will be looking for now. That's one L of a job on the printing. Thank you for being particular about the look.

Now about that "Title" in the address on the envelope. ;D

I hope I can live up to it. :)

C. Perry Rapier · « **Reply #103 on:** March 03, 2010, 11:21:37 PM »

Hello Chuck, glad you like the catalogs. Yes, I went back and forth till I got what I wanted. I have five variations of that catalog. ;D

They even made me a smaller version of it to start with, to see how I'd like that. But as you can see I opted for the larger version. But I did keep all the variations of it.

And the "Title", well Chuck, you won't have any problem. ;) :)

So what your saying Perry is that you now have some one of a kind Griswold catalogs that no one has ever seen, and they are worth a fortune. ;D I think Cheap Chuck could help you sell them ;D

As long as I don't get booted or BOOed off, I'll be OK I guess. :)

Chuck, I never thought of having the "one of a kind" catalogs, but I guess you are right about that. I'd like to sell them at Cheap Chucks prices. NO, not really. I'm just glad everybody likes them. :)

NAH, they won't Boo you off the stage Chuck. Just be sure and bring a few samples. ;)

Oh, man - still waiting for mine! Can't wait to see it. Hey Perry - you might want to consider selling some of those smaller "pocket versions" 8-) I'd buy one.

Perry, got mine on Wednesday. I took the USPS 9 days to get it here. The envelope looked like they ran over it with a truck a few times and then dragged it behind the truck from OH to TN. Luckily the catalog only had a couple of scuff marks on it. Great job!! Thanks, Mike

Wow, sorry to hear it took so long Mike. Is the catalog ok? If you want, I'll be happy to send you a replacement. :)

I know some folks have said it is taking a long time. Some got them in 2/3 days, others, like you, took a long time. In fact, yours was with the first batch that I sent out.

Perry, the catalog is fine, only a little scuff on the spine. With the USPS you never know how long it will take to get something. You had posted earlier when you sent them out. You sent mine and Sandy's the same day and she got hers 2 days later and mine took 9 days. Both of us live about the same distance from you so just can't tell about delivery time from the Post Office. Mike

Got mine today. Postmarked 3/1, go it 3/5. Perry must have paid off the pony express.

Perry, you may have answered this, but here goes anyway. Are the printed page images the same size as the original or have they been enlarged?

Hello Tom. The original is in a size that you could put it in your back pocket. That was what was part of my decision, how big should I make it. AND, if I had it enlarged, what would happen to the clarity, and would the clarity suit me. So like I said, there were actually four books made before the final product. And I have one in a size between what you all have, and the original.

Hope mine's going out with Jakes? The mailman is beginning to think I'm weird. What with sleeping out on the front steps waiting for the mail. :-/ :-/ :-/ At least it hasn't been as cold lately. :-/ :-/
