Finally, after all these years I've finished my book "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PUTZ a HISTORY AND COMPENDIUM". This book was supposed to be done for the 2019 Golden Glow of Christmas Past Annual Convention in Chicago. It wound up being a much larger project than I fiRst thought. This work still needs some tweaking but I'm proud of the results. I now have the Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) as well as the Copyright. I have added a few pages of Acknowledgements in the beginning of the book. I gratefully give credit to all of the putz house enthusiasts that have added to our knowledge of our hobby. From Papa Ted, our very own LES, Kathi Mac (The Tuscan Collection), Tom Hull, Antoinette Stockenberg and Paul Race. As well as many more individuals. This book wouldn't be possible with their contributions.
This is the 14th book in my series of putz house collectible guides. I have also added 3 booklet with the subjects being rare and hard to fine houses. The titles are "The Pagodas", The Extended Chimney Houses", and "The Dark Castles". I will be adding 2 more booklets soon... "The Boulder Houses" and "The Santa Window Haciendas".
On top of all that I have produced Putz House Calendars for the years 2024, 2025 and soon to be complete 2026. I am always in the market for other peoples pictures of their putz scenes to add to the picture pages of the calendars.
All my books, calendars and booklets are for sale. If you know me, you know that I put 100 percent of the money I make back into our hobby. The monies go for new publications or refurbishing publications or replacement products.
