Update on new Wensel Books
« on: September 30, 2009, 11:49:00 AM »
I just wanted to keep everyone updated on the ordering and publication of our new books. Back in August we offered everyone lowered rates for pre-publication prices by October 1st. We received a ton of verbal requests for orders but the REASON for the reduced rates was to help pay for the huge production costs of printing thousands of books. For all those guys who have requested orders but haven't sent payment yet, please send your monies to confirm your requests. Don't forget each book must be ordered separately. Send orders for "Once Upon A Tine" to:
Barry Wensel
22730- 210th St.
Keosauqua, Iowa 52565
and orders for "Buckskin and Bone" to:
Gene Wensel
P.O. Box 234
Libertyville, Iowa 52567
Pre-publication costs for regular editions are $25. plus $7. S&H and 100 personalized/signed, serial numbered, embossed Limited Editions for $50. plus $7. S&H.
There are still a few Limited Editions left of both books but there will be multiple Limited Editions available in another week or so if not paid for as stated. I also need to update everyone on the printing problems. Gene's book is due off the press in late October. BUT mine,  because it's pushing 400 pages and the volume of photos, has maxed out the software program and had to be entirely re-edited/formatted and now scheduled for delivery in late November. Looking on the bright side maybe this will make it easier for everyone to afford both new books. At any rate, thanks to all for your considerations and here's wishing everyone a successful, safe season. BW

I just PM'd Gene.  I ordered a regular copy in early August. I want to "upgrade" my copy of Buckskin & Bone, please save a Limited Edition copy for me.

I am mailing the upgrade money today.

Sent both checks a couple days ago.  Sorry I took so long.

Have they showed up yet?

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Both books will surely be worth the wait and the money.  I recently saw a copy of "Hunting Rutting Whitetails" for nearly $200 for sale.  If I did not already own it...I would have gladly paid it.

I sent my paid orders back in August....thanks for the update Barry.  I was wondering, especially after seeing recent "ads".

I am really looking forward to both books in limited editions. The articles in the lastest issue of Professional Bowhunter Magazine by Barry and Gene were very intertaining and informative. I can hardly wait for the first book to arrive.

How's the publishing coming along?

I would guess both books (Limited Editions) will go out at the same time (late November) to help with shipping cost?

God Bless,

Boof,
The two books are totally different transactions, the reason for separate payments with separate shipping costs.  Gene will send his sometime in the near future.  With the rut on I would not expect to see his book shipped until it is finished or he posts a picture if a buck.  Barry has posted in a couple of places that he will mail his book when the publisher works out some publishing issues; probably late December or January.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

I got my copy of Buckskin and Bone yesterday (11/16).  Talked to Gene, I know a bunch went out in the mail recently.  They had some lousy weather days and so Gene did a day or two's worth of mailing.  

Trying to pace myself with the book, but excellent so far...   :)
