I posted this message in the Powder Room then I realized that might be the wrong place, so I'm posting it here too.
I joined Fedora Lounge a while ago, but you may not remember me because I haven't been back in a while.
Yesterday fellow hat collector Mary Robak (a medical administrator in Chicago) and I (Brenda Grantland, a lawyer in Mill Valley, California) published an eBook on Smashwords.com called Hatatorium: An Essential Guide to Hat Collecting. It's 67,000 words long (180+ pages in full size pdf format). It is an interactive eBook for those with the latest generation of eReaders -- iPad, Nook Color, Kindle Fire, Kobo Vox, although everyone can use the pdf version on their computers.
It is a reference manual on vintage hats (from 1900 to present), including info on 800+ milliners and store labels and the eras in which they were active and other information useful in dating hats. It has thousands of links, many of which lead to a dedicated website database we created, which contains over 1,000 photographs of hats in our collections. It also links to many fine hats in museums with on-line collections. This edition mostly focuses on women's hats, but also includes men's hats.
We listed Fedora Lounge in the Bibliography internet resources list.
Here is a link to the listing on Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/111578
We're hoping this book takes off because, in addition to wanting to encourage the wearing and collecting of vintage hats, we want to publish some more spin off eBook publications about vintage hats. If any other hat experts or writers in the Fedora Lounge are interested in participating in the a project please talk to me.
