Allen-Edmonds Story book

[moustache]

I have been enjoying the aquisition of many pair of Allen-Edmonds over the last few months. Delightful shoes and wonderfully made.
I notice that there is a book entitled "The Allen-Edmonds Story" for sale on the AE site.Looks nice.
Anyone have this book or maybe have thumbed through it??Is it worth the $19 plus shipping???
I have searched online for a used copy but have not seen any on my book search sites.I would like to see it before buying if possible.

Ideas or thoughts??

No, though I might as well get a copy.

it has arrived!

I have received my book finally from Allen-Edmonds.
Very nice read.Quite a few more family pictures than one needs but still interesting.After all,it IS a book on the history of the family and it's legacy.
Wish there were more photographs of shoes though.Guess thats what catalogs are for

Here are a few pics i shot today of the cover as well as a few inside pages.
The chapters on making shoes and selling shoes were the most rewarding.

It is worth the price of $19 if anyone was curious.

Here are some of the labels they have used:

Very nice! Be careful, though, about posting too much copyrighted material. I'm not sure what fair use laws allow for things like this.

True enough..

I thought about that and figured that i was not reproducing for reading sake.Just to show what the photos looked like.As far as that goes,i see a few web sites that sho the front and back cover like mine.
As for the labels photo:One can find those on millions of shoes!lol

Thanks for the heads up though.Thoughtful of you.Much appreciated.

I saw a pair of these on Ebay in my size a few months ago. Sadly, they went out of my price range.
