New Stanley book coming

[Eric Brown]

Thought some of you might like to know about a new Stanley book being printed by The Early American Industries Association. http://eaiainfo.org/ Here is their notice:


Coming Soon—Stanley Tools by Walt

Jacob, the Complete Collection

The EAIA Board of Directors has announced a new upcoming

EAIA publication—a complete reprint of all the Walter
Jacob Stanley Works columns that have been published in

The Chronicle.

Walt’s columns have appeared regularly in

The Chronicle

since 1999. They cover a full spectrum of topics about Stanley—the history of the company, the production and development of the various Stanley tool lines, and company’s advertising campaigns. Columns include the history of zig-zag rules, tape measures, braces, screw drivers, garden tools, hardware, plumb bobs, and more. Plans call for a soft cover book of more than 150 pages, indexed for ease of use. It’s a must-have for Stanley collectors.

The tentative publication date is December.

Note: Members of EAIA get a discount!

For a bit of extra information:

We're expecting it to be 180 pages +- a few. 8.5x11 trade paperback and hopefully hard cover too. It will be POD so the price should be reasonable, if I have my way!

Patty Macleish is busy reformatting the entire thing so it won't look like a bunch of articles, it will be a bona fide book complete with TOC and index.

I'll post to my blog when we're nearly there.
