It is a little bit later than I had anticipated. On the upside, atleast it is getting printed. So now we wait and hope for the best. I recently got back from Hunter, NY on a snowboarding trip. I handed out some cards to friends in the snowbaording industry. Hopefully they can help me market the book as well.Gil Trudell Jrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07843262572510166332noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6669742825843011693.post-17589214591187838712008-12-13T19:48:00.000-08:002008-12-13T19:55:09.445-08:00Everything is coming togetherThe printers have received the payment for the books. We are now just waiting for the printers to finish up. I will be visiting local bookstores, libraries, and schools to try to promote my book. I also now have business cards. If you know anyone who would be interested in the book let me know and I can get you some business cards to hand out. I have had <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">a lot</span> of interest from friends and family about the book. So if you know you want a copy or five, shoot me an email or message and ill try to reserve some for you.
