Pre-pub special, Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers

Freddie, is 66 still available? If not, I'll take whatever. Pay soon as I hear from you.
Thanks!
 
I am finally finished with the writing part of my book, and I am now heading down the home stretch. “All” that is left are the final edits. However, it is a daunting task, 500 pages. The format for my book is a little more complicated than the usual book form. But thank God I have my pal, the indomitable George Fels, to hold my hand every step of the way in this endeavor. I am not the worst writer, but my grammar and punctuation are basically lacking. George is a professional writer and editor, and he amazes me (and sometimes even pees me off a little), in that he can find every single, tiny (and there are countless examples of such) writing infraction I commit.
I even get busted with the spelling of some of the names of people I have known all my life. Maybe no one else on earth could have caught me misspelling those names. I use spell-check, so I am good to go most of the time, but George remembers the spelling of the names of people we associated with over 40 years ago!
One of my best friends for years, was “Tall Al” Lamareaux. I misspelled his name 2 or 3 different ways in my book. George knew the correct spelling. Al has been dead over 20 years.
The bottom line is, I would have been in a world of trouble without the help of Georgie-boy. With his help, I am hoping to put forth a genuinely professional product.

I am starting a promo to do a special pre-publication event for my upcoming book, The Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers. The first prepaid orders to come in will get numbered copies from 1 to 100, and autographed of course. The publishing date is from one to two months away, more likely two. The order I collect the money will determine the number from 1 to 100. Someone from Onepocket.org has already locked up #1. Up to this point I haven't asked for anything from anyone yet so there is no # 2 at the moment. The tentative price is going to probably be $49.95. That is not locked in because the book is going to cost pretty good to publish, hard cover, large size, 350-400+ glossy pages, hundreds of photos, etc. But to raise some interest and some money the special pre-pub price is going to be $49.95 including shipping. As the payments come in I will assign the numbers in that order and notify the buyer as to his number.

All orders will receive a bonus DVD, the OnePocket Hall of Fame Dinner for 2011 or the BCA Hall of Fame Dinner for 2011. Your choice.

Payments can be made to my PayPal acct under my email address, bankingwiththebeard@comcast.net or my home address is

Glad to hear George is on the ball, he's always been one of my favorites! Any idea yet of when it will be available?

Is the pre publish deal still open? If so, I will try to open a pay pal acct and send in my order.

After the edits, the photos (240+) have to be resized and inserted into the pages one by one. Then after the cover design in done, it gets sent to the printer. That is a 10 days to 2 weeks process. I am shooting for about 4 more weeks.
