Getting closer

[Dick Hosmer]

Check received! Thanks. Through a screw-up on the printer's part, I just received five extra proof copies. If you don't mind, I'll send you one - I'd appreciate another pair of eyes going over it; I've read it so many times I'm getting cross-eyed. There are some cosmetic things that I've already fixed, but am looking for incomplete sentences, dropped words, awkward text placement squeezed between pictures, perhaps your thoughts on whether I've overdone the bold and italic highlights, general appearance - things like that. Think I'm still on schedule for release prior to the end of the month. OK? Anyone else? (max. of 2, first come, first served)

I'd be happy to look over a proof copy.

I'll need your mailing addresses. Email to richardahosmer@comcast.net

Thought I'd posted that little tidbit already - another senior moment.

[Dan Shapiro]

Dick, you flatter me! But, YES!, I'd be more than happy to peruse a proof copy.

Thank you - Even though the book should go on sale at Amazon before the end of the month, I will not have a stock of copies myself until sometime after that - so - no need to rush.

[Dick Hosmer]

I have approved the final proof of the book - it should appear for sale on Amazon within 3-5 business days. Not sure how soon I will be in a position to offer autographed copies.

If anyone does buy it, PLEASE let me know if you find any errors and I will correct them. I'm sure that "tarpdoor" is in there somewhere, but my eyes are crossed from reading it over and over, and over.

At this time, I would like to thank all of my friends for their help and encouragement throughout what was a long (far too long actually) process.

I hope you will enjoy it.

[Dan Shapiro]

WoooHoooo!!

[Fred]

I Will!

Looking forward to purchasing a copy!

Hi Dick
Will buy from you direct. Can't do business with Jeff Bezoar!

[Dick Hosmer]

Thanks!

Like him or not, and I don't, he has provided a service that I need!

Hi Dick
Payment for your second book will go in the mail tomorrow since today is a holiday. Tried to send you a PM but your mailbox is full. I'm really looking forward to getting this one, referred to your first book Many Times.
