I figured you didn't see the name over to the side (it's really TINY in this layout, but I'm not sure how to fix that). <br /><br />I've been thinking of you as I assembled all this Hanoverian Cream information. There is a LOT out there, if you look at older texts, particularly German ones. It will all be in the book, but the most credible authors describe them as golden-eyed, or as having light walnut eyes - not blue or green or pink. (The absolute least credible reporters said pink.) I suspect that they may have been pearls, especially the later ones. (The early ones were most certain a mixed bag of genes!)Lesli Kathmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840404360992640749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766578391965119860.post-66876052941705725622011-04-19T16:25:55.545-04:002011-04-19T16:25:55.545-04:00Hi Lesli,

I need to email you... and yep, I'm sorry we missed you, too... it was a very busy time at KHP!

I saw parts of it, saddles, bridles and photos, when it was in the Old Stable area but the housing was not the best, so I am really glad that Cal Poly is housing this Collection as it should, a true treasure. <br /><br />I am so volunteering when they open again...I do book presevation/conservation work and perhaps they can find a spot for me to help out.<br /><br />~Heather W.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425115569866645488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766578391965119860.post-12058156564347116512011-04-14T14:00:34.507-04:002011-04-14T14:00:34.507-04:00Hi Barb!

I wish I could have seen you last year in Kentucky, but I ran out of time - which is usually what happens there. :)<br /><br />About e-books, I am going to look into that. I have a little more problem with issuing a digital version of the photos separately, only in that I am unsure if photographers (all of whom have been very generous about allowing me to use their pictures) will allow it. Right now I am maintaining the book in two forms - color and b/w - in the hopes that someday the first will be workable. <br /><br />And Heather, is the Kellogg Library where the Arabian Horse Trust went? I was there once, and it was an amazing place (larger even than the National Sporting Library), but I understand it closed when the Arabian industry crashed. I thought that part of that collection was the Kellogg one, but maybe I am thinking of the Brown collection? Either way, I'd LOVE to see it some day.Lesli Kathmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840404360992640749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766578391965119860.post-35771652950231110762011-04-14T13:39:28.114-04:002011-04-14T13:39:28.114-04:00Leslie...what a wonderful Library to visit...cours...Leslie...what a wonderful Library to visit...course, it's for your book, however it would be fun just to check out equine libraries.<br /><br /> The W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Library at Cal Poly Pomona, CA<br />is moving into new quarters in <br />the Cal Poly Pomona University Library (the main library).... should reopen sometime in the Fall.<br />That could almost be a road trip during BOYCC 2013 !!!!<br /><br /> Looking forward to your presentation at BOYCC in May, you always stump me with your research, you find such gems!!!<br />~Heather WellsHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425115569866645488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766578391965119860.post-55066918639620221482011-04-14T13:39:08.327-04:002011-04-14T13:39:08.327-04:00Hi!

I've bought some replacements, for a few that are out-of-print, I'm doing the scanning/OCR/drop into Sigil for epub.<br /><br />I'm also in the camp of not only being interested in a paper copy, but *ALSO* interested in a digital copy, say a nice epub that could be read on computer for color, and also on an ereader for content.<br /><br />There's free software out there for making epubs out of XHTML files!

If I remember correctly the photographs will be in black and white. I would like to see the colors themselves and a digital file of the photos would keep costs down. ~AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
