Note: This is an archive of "Papa" Ted Althof's online tribute to cardboard Christmas "putz" houses and their history. At Ted's request, this archive was established in early 2012. Except for critical updates and announcements, it will remain as Ted left it in October, 2012. For more information, please scroll to the bottom of the page.

TABLE of CONTENTS

Note from Editor: One of Ted's greatest disappointments was that he was never able to put a book together about his discoveries. But to be fair, when he first had the book idea, he was only aware of a tenth of what was out there. By the time he had been publishing his discoveries on the internet for 6 years, he realized that he would never be able to interest anyone in a book as large as his would have to be. So this was a way for him to get the information into the hands of readers. It was also a way for him to think about his "legacy" going on no matter what happened to the site. Needless to say, the CDs are no longer available, although his legacy is surving in this archive at least. - Paul Race, 2012

Papa Ted's Place on CD



Ted was frequently asked: "When is the book coming out?" But, since no publishers have been forthcoming, he did make CD's of his site available on request. To Ted, having the CD's available also meant that the site would "live on" in some format after he was gone, something he also attempted to accomplish by asking Paul Race to keep the site alive in this archive.

To our knowledge, Ted never sold more than a handful of these. They are no longer available, but we're keeping this page online as part of the archive.
