Default Fuss & Fashion

Finally, after 8 years of diddling with this I have sent "Fuss & Fashion - 200 Years of Canadian Military Headdress" to the printers. Expect delivery in February.

The discerning collector will note many interesting badges on these caps.

If you send me a separate e-mail (clive@servicepub.com) asking for a signed copy I will do my best. Sometimes the logistics of typing and printing 100 invoices, packing the books, labelling the boxes, etc.., end up with me forgetting to sign.

I will be packing and mailing these over the next few days and all orders should be out by the weekend. As I send all of these via Expedited Post at the latest you should have yours by Wednesday 13 March.
Thanks to all who pre-ordered.

Received my copy, and another must have reference for Canadian badge collectors. This is a thoroughly researched and profusely illustrated reference. Congratulations on a job well done Clive!
(Caveat, I know Clive, and expect huge compensation for this endorsement.)
