The Dope From Hope Book

The first-ever publication of Paul W. Klipsch’s cult audio newsletters 'Dope From Hope'.

We are ready to bring a piece of history to life. For the first time ever, the cult audio newsletters by Paul W. Klipsch, entitled the ‘Dope From Hope’ will be compiled, in high resolution, into a beautiful, hardcover, ~300 page art book, exclusively via this campaign. 

Klipsch made speakers. His simple goal: to bring the vibrant sound of live music from the stage into the living room. Dating back to 1960 and in circulation for decades, these papers became a foundational, yet nowadays elusive resource for dealers and Klipsch’s customers to experiment with, enhance, learn about, and ultimately enjoy better sound at home… or on the dance floor. The book will contain a full collection of the newsletters, draft papers, sketches, captions and indices in a handsome cloth-bound, oversized, coffee table book.

We believe the Dope From Hope papers deserve a wider audience and Paul W. Klipsch’s honest, plain language and sharp wit will inspire the next generation of audio enthusiasts.
