Re: "How to Camp Out" by John Mead Gould
For those who want it as a book, yes, I can do it for $13, including s-l-o-w shipping, and still donate $4 for each book right from the start to battlefield or historic preservation. That will go up to at least $7 after I recoup the start-up and stocking expenses (about $300 as it now stands, for the first 50 books).
I'm targeting Shenandoah Valley battlefields with most of the money from what will shortly be a booklist of three titles, but when the books are sold at registration for events, I'll donate the profit to whatever the event organizers say is the event's targeted cause. Two weeks ago the local living history farm got $130 for books sold while some of us were there, so while it's not a lot of money, it's better than stepping on a nail.
When "How to Camp Out" is on hand -- I'm still in the process of proofs and whatnot with the printing company -- I'll post a web link for Broken Lance Enterprises.
If anyone has any other titles they'd like to see in an affordable reprint for our little community, please let me know. If it's in the public domain like this one is, and available as capturable text and images online like this one was, it's about a solid day's work and $300 for the first 50 copies of a 150-page book. The cost to me will go down for subsequent orders of 50 copies.
If anyone is wondering: Broken Lance Enterprises is a "background business" I've set up at home on a long, slow learning curve against the day fortune frowns on me one way or another and I need a non-newspaper income to survive. In the meantime it generates both experience and modest amounts of donations for history.
Enjoy.
