courtesy of Rich Hoffman (the M&R mail clerk guy that keeps giving the tours of the facility) and Richard Greaves we have a copy of "History of Screen Printing" book to give away. Rich was kind enough to give me a copy of the book for Richard who already has it. So I've decided to give the book away on the forum. This is a hard copy and retails for $100+.

Here's what I'm thinking. . . answer the post and suggest who should be placed on the list. We'll set up a poll with the names and who ever gets the most votes gets the book!

thoughts?

Pierre gets my vote.

Frog.

Wait, are the owners eligible to win prizes?

[jason-23]

Spider gets my vote...hehehe

[larryk]

Really......... You mean like a popularity contest? Why don't you have a silent auction that only the admins. can see and then the high bidder gets it and the proceeds go towards a charity of your choice... Like Me!......... or maybe something more worthy.

[Mr Tees!!]

Yknow what else might be cool? We all ship it around to each other. Enjoy it awhile, send it to the next guy on the list.

I would also like to nominate myself to be LAST on the list.

[mimosatexas]

I nominate Alan so when he gets it I can drive 5 minutes and take a look as well

Plus he's been super helpful and generous to me, and I wouldnt be using S-mesh without his advocating it.

I figured that this would be a given, but should be addressed. "Someone" put the horse before the cart. (rib rib).
I feel and I'm sure all owners will feel that we could not participate. I even thought of suggesting someone myself, but as an owner, can't. Could look rigged.

Alan

Is the reason my shop is everything good that it is!

[TCT]

I would cast my vote for Alan as well.

Not really a popularity contest, but I enjoy his posts very much. They are full of good solid information.

The guy from Murakami would also get my vote, but I assumed it would be for printers...

[Underbase37]

Dave ( bimmridder ) seems to have help a lot on here, I know he has me ( thanks for that talk ). Alan always has great posts that have helped a lot on here, & binkspot always seems to get on & help people too. & there are some others I'm sure we could all mention (tp),.... but I wouldn't be surprised if all of them already have this book.

Oh & Colin always has very helpful posts too.

There are a few that I would like to thank. Their advices on this forum had helped me improve my screen printing.

Alan - showing us all the super details on how to be better printers.
Dave - maybe the nicest guy here with knowledge.
Danny - Probably the best printer on this board from what I see.
Rich - bringing M&R to this board that often will give advice/help as well well as keeps the competition on their toes which helps us all indirectly.

I don't go back to the Song Dynasty or days of innovators like Michael Vasilantone (I believe I was born in the same year he invented the rotary press) but I have; like others here, have pretty much lived it. Some may be surprised that much of what is bantered about here on a daily basis were considered to be trade secrets not that long ago. I am both restricted and busy so cannot contribute much anymore.

[DCSP John]

I would nominate Alan.

We have Lon in the shop all week, and Alan's name came up around 5 different times just yesterday alone.
A wealth of knowledge, Alan is...
