So many books, so little time.

FYI ... in case you hadn't seen or heard of this.

FRegards!

This one is a good one, Plummz. Consider moving it up on your reading list.

[Jeff Head]

If you're around, here's an FYI BUMP!

[Jeff Head]

Looks like we found FR back up about the same time.

The initial order for printed books is placed. This outfit is actually sending me a proof this week ... ie. qty of one ... and hopefully that will be in good order and we approve from there for the rest being printed and being in late the following week.

[Dukie]

Good morning, bloodmeridian. Somehow I forgot you earlier, but especially wanted your input since you work in the news & publications field.

[Dukie]

Hey Sabertooth - have you seen this ??

[Dukie]

Hey, Jeff. Just exchanged notes with Doug Clapp concerning the book & he mentioned the Chinese propaganda videos using 9/11 footage. IMHO he is a "kindred spirit".

My 12 year old nephew here in town asked me to reserve a print copy for him. Will be sending an order.

[Dukie]

Hey " 6" ! If you've finished smoking the hookah, take a look at this.

[Jeff Head]

GREAT! Send it on in.

Tell your nephew, if he has an interestt, to get into building scale models, aircraft and ships. I am quite the 1/72 scale aircraft enthusiast. Monogram's B-1B, Testors B-2 and AMT's B-52H are the best 1/72 scale bombers (IMHO) readily available.

I have about thirty 1/72 scale modern fighter, bomber and recon aircraft built and authentically painted and detailed and have about 12-15 more yet to build.

Also, am big into 1/700 and 1/350 scale ships. Have an entire US and an entire Russian CBG in 1/720.

Also have the battleship Missouri (modernized version with tomohawks and harpoon missile launchers), a Spruance class DDG and a Ticonderoga class CG built in 1/350 scale (the Missouri is BIG) also have the 1/350 scale USS Enterprize waiting to build. That one is mu ultimate ship model. Got it for Christmas about five years ago and am still waiting for the right tiome to start building it when I can give it the attention it deserves.

Oh well ... I'll post a couple of pics later this morning to this thread so you can show him if he has any interest.

Regards.

I can tell you're a real enthusiast going with a common scale for your collection 1/72. I will mention it to Andy. I have another nephew - David - in Ohio, a 7 year old who is really into building things. He started early with Legos but I bought an F16A ( 1/48 - Monogram ) and we put it together over several visits. I was amzed at his patience & attention to the details of painting. I did most of the adhesive work. His sister Faith ( who is really MY sweetheart ) wanted in on the action too. It is now suspended, rotating for takoff in the hall outside their rooms.

I bought him an SB2C Helldiver ( also 1/48 Monogram ) for the fact that the gear retracts, the hook works, the wings fold, the canopies slide, the bomb bay doors work and the 500 lb bomb drops. He & his dad put that one together . His new interest is in all things explosive and we spent a whole day at WPAFB looking at the various munitions.

[Dukie]

I think I missed you guys when I posted this. A BUMP for you.

"... Tom Clancy now has some serious, serious competition."

Wooo! That's a heck of a comparison, and a heck of a compliment. Having read all of Clancy's stuff (well, the "Jack Ryan" fiction, anyways), I guess I'd better take a look at this. Congratulations!

I'd write a book if only I could figure out what to write about that I'm a subject matter expert in that would also be interesting to someone else...

So, so much for that idea. ;-)

[Howlin]

You tagged me before. Thanks for remembering. I'm very happy for Jeff!

"He then wrote the review that Chris posted above, and got me in touch with some agents in NYC..." Great going. Wonderful review! I hope this hits the big time.

[Dukie]

I should have done a search ! Thanks, Howlin.
