Simson Luger book
 
I just got my copy of Simson Lugers! I wish to thank and commend Ed and Graham on a well done work. Its not often one gets to obtain a " first edition " , especially signed by the authors! Many kuddos also to Brad Simpson, for publishing this book. It will make fine reading in the weeks ahead.

Mike:cheers:

I got my book today and I'm very impressed! I don't know who these "Ed & Graham" fellows are but they've made a mighty fine birdcage liner!! :D


Congrats on the excellent job guys. Seriously nice book, both in what I've read so far, the excellent pictures and a super fine job of printing. I got the Deluxe Edition and I'm not a bit disappointed. I'm sure you'll sell them all out very soon... :cheers:


Also, I like the way you guys gave credit to the many people listed in the acknowledgments. A lot of familar names there.


It makes me want to buy a Simson of my own... :)

Great job guys! I like it all the way thru... and a very nice touch, and nice way of recognizing the people that gave you some input... I hope, and wish, the very best of success for the authors and publisher... Best to all, til...lat'r...GT BTW, I want a Simson now also!!!! :cheers:

Envious of those who have received their deluxe copies, as mine hasn't arrived yet. Now I'm getting nervous, and soon I'll be taking sedatives. Wouldn't "Aaron"come first on the mailing list?

Great looking booking with very good information

Thank you ED and Graham

My only guestion is that the best photo of ED you could find ????

Thanks all, apprecaite the comments.

Jim, story on that picture. Taken, by myself, in the temp PA apartment, by myself, with a self timer. Did I mention that I had just gotten to my new job and Brad needed pictures within the next couple of days and I had to take the pictures by myself?

Aaron, hopefully it will arrive soon... Brad has lots of standard editions left, but less than 15 of the deluxe editions left... (I will have standard editions, and maybe 2 or 3 deluxe at the NAPCA convention...)

Ed

PS: I have observed I forgot several names in the achknowledgements area, Roadkill for one, for an initial translation that he did for us. :( RK, I apoligize, I had 2 translations and used Flecks (no it wasn't because he is my brother in law and a lawyer, I simply screwed up and left your name out) :o

thegundude 08-22-2007 08:56 AM

Writing a book of this nature is a much, much more involved and difficult thing than most people realize. Anyone worth a hoot will already know that, Ed... ;)

That picture doesn't look like you took it yourself. It looks more like it was taken by a sniper at about 1,000 yards... :D

(It's not that bad)

:cheers:

Ed,

I received my copy yesterday. Very well done Ed and Graham. A great reference for those of us still looking for their first Simson Luger.

Ron

bradsimpson 08-22-2007 12:37 PM

Aaron,
Assuming your last name starts with an "S", we shipped your book on the 15th.

Ed,
As of right now, we actually have 19 Deluxe Editions left.

thanks
goodnight

Edward Tinker 08-22-2007 07:39 PM

thanks Don, I am glad, and appreciate the help and pictures for the book :)

I just finished my first read through; there is a great deal of information here for the collector and the researcher. What I like most is the structure of how the information is presented, clean and to the point but presented in such a way that should new information ever become available the original contents purity should remain intact making this a valuable reference for our generations and for those to come.

Great book guys!! Thanks for the terrific effort. :D :D

Aaron 08-23-2007 12:44 PM

Book received, very beautiful' especially the gold edging. Now if only I can find some shelf space for it in my crowded library.

Vlim 08-23-2007 01:29 PM

Got my copy last wednesday.

I'm impressed, the book is a very interesting read and it has the right balance between history and catalogue/identification information.

Ed & Graham: Well done!
Brad: You provided a great service!
