I realize it's a small market, but I'm looking forward to reading the book. I think the story of the regional food cards of the 50s and 60s is one of the most underrated chapters in the history of the hobby. When I first started collecting vintage cards in the mid-70s, the 50s regionals were the Holy Grails of many collectors. They had far more appeal than all the strange-looking pre-war sets that we often saw but knew little about. I also think the Kahn's Weiners cards deserve a chapter of their own, and it could easily be called, "The Weiner the World Awaited."
