New Peterson Book.

New Peterson Book – The Peterson Pipe Chronicles

The question of a suitable reference book on the Peterson brand of pipes has long been a major topic of discussion whenever Peterson aficionados gather together. It is somewhat ironic to realize that a comprehensive reference book has never been produced for a pipe company that has been around since 1865. I am very privileged to announce that this anomaly is about to be rectified—

With the approval and participation of Peterson's CEO, Tom Palmer, a knowledgeable group of Peterson collectors and enthusiasts have recently teamed up to form a working editorial group, which includes:

Mr Jim Lilley

Mr Tom Palmer

Dr. Mark Irwin

Mr Gary Malmberg

Mr Charles(Chuck) Wright

Mr Ed McMullen

—this with the aim of publishing a good quality illustrated reference book that Peterson fans and enthusiasts the world over will appreciate for many years to come. The book will document the history of Kapp & Peterson insofar as it can be ascertained, celebrating pipes from the Pre-Patent, Patent, Pre-Republic, Post-Republic and Modern eras.

We invite the assistance of Peterson pipemen the world over to ensure this be an authoritative and colorful reference work.

If you have any rare historical information, photographs, anecdotes or text to contribute, please contact our project manager Mark Irwin,at pete@afinemess.org for a submissions guide. All contributors will be noted on a special contributors’ page and credit will be given for any submission used in the production of this book.

Thank you.

Jim
