So you read a couple pages, then flip through some blank ones while you wait for Charlie to continue? I love those suspenseful breaks  :D  Can't afford one right now, might be in on a second run if things get better. Good luck, and I also will offer my proofreading talents.  

[Corvus]

I'm onboard, good luck Charlie!

[jcrafferty]

[statedriller]

Yep...that's why we need all the help we can get....don't want to leave out ANY photos if we can help it....and would like to CRAM in all we can.

All I can say is it's about time!!      

[Terry Green]

Whip...I approached Charlie about this on our hunt in October.....its been in the works under the radar for a while.

Charlie is one of the most interesting people out there. I just learned most recently through his pictures on FB not only what he has acomplished as a bowhunter but his sacrafices as a Vietnam Veteran. The pictures af Charlie and the men he faught with are wonderfull tidbits of history that I really enjoyed seeing. Thanks for everything Charlie and I am sure this will all come together. I cant wait to read it.

This, on the surface is for the authors financial gain, right. Is it not customary for the author to receive an advance from the publisher or bank roll the whole deal themselves as a gamble. I have never met 99% of the people on this site and certainly have never met Mr Lamb or Mr Green so have no axe to grind.
Hey but as the saying goes free advertising is free advertising.

The problem with a publisher giving advances is they are only interested in $$$$$$$$ and how many books will sell NOT a niche audience. That in no way means the stories need not be told or won't be appreciated but that the mass crowds whose lives are occupied with gadgets and fast entertainment won't see it's value and buy it so publishers won't touch it. Their loss, but the venture is our gain. This will not make Charlie rich
( I've had friends who have published this kind of venture) there is no money in it but we will be enriched.

I'm in going to PayPal now count me in

[Stryder]

Done.

[Terry Green]

Yeah...Merle, I almost swallowed my dip when I read 'financial gains'. We just want to get the book done and the stories preserved.        

I don't think Barnes and Noble are going to call either of us.          

Nice horse Merle.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I have a b day coming up, I will see if my folks will front me. This will be an awesome gift.

[Terry Green]

Please don't delay Guy's n Gals.....we are getting there...

The sooner this gets done....the sooner we'll have a book!!!

[longbowray]

Done ! And thank y'all

[Pokerdaddy]

Very excited to be able to help get this book off the ground, financially or otherwise.  Though I'm no old timer or founding father here at TG, Charlie's stories mean so much to me.  His words and his wisdom enrich our lives and our hunts.  Thank you, Charlie (and Terry).

I can't begin to do the pay pal thing... don't use that and wont...personal thing from the past and such.

Terry, where can we send real checks?

You can post or PM me.

I've spent 20+ yrs word-smithing and helping edit a few professional tomes if I can be of help proofing or whatever they call that early re-reads....

Anxious to help.. and by "HELP" that means we're all getting a book just for committing, but need to know how to make out a check and where to send...
