Tony Reed Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 To all that have written me: My work email is temporarily ka-put. I can receive, but I can't send. If there are extra "personalized" copies of the book, I will attempt to get all I can. Hang in there and keep the faith. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornEd Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Clearly, Tony, we all appreciate the extra effort you have put out on behalf of Mr. Paul, Ms. Valerie and the Hope centered Klipsch phenomenon. Certainly not one among us would want to tax Mr. Paul's energies or otherwise negatively impact the PWK household. In a sense, many of us on the Forum have developed a camaraderie of mutual assistance, good humor and sound exploration... and rightly or wrongly, we feel as if our actions qualify us as members of the Klipsch extended family... if only in a "virtual" sense. There has not been a Klipsch moment quite like this since the Klipschorn became a reality... a great birthday, a great book, and a great facilities expansion (in Hope and Indy) all at the same time! And to be so close to potentially owning an autographed copy is like freezing an historical moment that can be passed down through generations. I, for one, would gladly pay an generous shipping and handling fee for the opportunity of owning that slice of history. And so, I suspect, would all the others who wrote. While we keep the faith... it would be nice to proactively help the project along. HornEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Tony, I suspect there are lots of Klipsch fans like me who would like to attend the book signing, but cannot. If it's at all possible, I, too, would be more than willing to pay above retail for a copy signed by Mr. Paul. Just tell me what I need to do. Thanks a lot.

Mike Lindsey Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Like Doug, I will pay handsomely for the signed copy. And unlike HornEd's thinly veiled bribe, my bribe is out in the open.

HornEd Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Perhaps, Doug, but it was meant as an collective incentive for Tony to go out of his way for Forum members. To set up a sale and distribution channel for autographed books could become more work than Tony (or anyone else) might like to do on an otherwise fun weekend. Too offset the potential hassles, I think that anyone taking on such a task at this late date ought to be compensated by all who want an autographed copy without being there. I have never met Tony but I know a few people who do. The general consensus is that he is the Salt of the Earth and a Prince of a Klipscher (whoops, now Doug's gonna add a charge of a salt & flattery charge!). While I appreciate anything that Tony may do for all of our benefit... I also want to pay may fair share of any expense. Take a look at Tony at Mr. Paul's last year. How much of an uncompensated burden should we who can't get there on someone who has made a habit of it. I'm still trying to make but my 94 year old mom was suddenly scheduled for surgery in San Antono, TX on March 18th. If she is well enough, I will try to get to Hope... and I will do what I can for you, Doug, and any other of our Forum Friends... at slightly less than cost. Consider it a bribe to boost Mr. Paul's spirits with the caring concern of Klipsch Forum members. I think these books will be a focal point in all our homes when people come over to watch a DVD or multi-channel music. I want a book so I can show my mother where her K-horns were born and the man who made 'em possible who is 3½ years older! HornEd PS: Special thanks to Becky P. who took the above photo. H.E.

Tony Reed Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hey guys, I don't want to make a dime on this deal! I mean that! There's no way that I deserve to profit from Mr Paul's book. It just wouldn't be right. I'm glad to do what I can for my fellow forum members. I'll keep you posted, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Great pic HornEd (thanks Becky!). I feel just as HornEd does and would be honored just to own the book, but it would mean so much more to me if I had a signed copy. Tony, I really do appreciate your efforts on this and wish I could be there for this wonderful occasion. I truly hope to meet the man one day...

Guest BobG Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I do not in any way mean to put a damper on the fabulous enthusiasm on this thread, but if I am understanding correctly, it is the author, not PWK who will be signing books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornEd Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Sooner or later, on every parade a little reign must fall... thanks BobG for the morning after clarity... well, I'm still in... author! author!! Every personalized bit beyond a bookstore purchase just makes it that much more special from my point of view. If I could be there, as I had planned to, I would have asked every Klipsch Forum Member there to autograph it including their Forum name so I could step up to a mike and know which one it was. I just think the event is just that special. And if there was a way to get that one last signature without creating a hardship for anyone... well there's nothing like history ratified by the person who made it... and his helpmate through the epic journey. I can and have bought Klipschorns... but some more important things seem only to live on as wishful thinking. Congratulations on the hard copy revelations... and Happy Birthday Mr. Paul! HornEd Special Edit: Oops, the "***-u-me fact-or-?" strikes again. GO TONY...

Guest BobG Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Tony, that's great! I know you and Miss Valerie have a good relationship. You may know more about this than I do. I wanted to provide clairty for the group at large so no one would be disappointed. I have not heard that PWK will be available for an autograph session. Thanks for your energy on this project.

Tony Reed Posted March 6, 2002 Author Share Posted March 6, 2002 BobG: We, (as always) appreciate your input. Mr Paul will remain at home during the announcement. Everyone is invited to the Klipsch's home afterward to visit with Mr Paul & Miss Valerie. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwalled Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hello, I was given this link today by my dad for more info on the book. It's put up by Valerie Klipsch. http://www.mrspaulwklipsch.com/ It's sort of funny to think I was talking to the two authors just the other day, when my dad took me to his workplace. He works with them! Had no idea they were Klipsch heritage fans!
