 -----    from the Authors....

We have written a new book that has been published on behalf of our classmates featuring:

1)      81 authors and our books submitted for our 50th Reunion last May in New Haven, compiled by Laton McCartney and Guy Struve and presented as an exhibit at Sterling Library.

2)      Supplemented with a section I have added titled “Self-Publish Your Own Book - a (simple) Guide”

 

The objectives of this book include:

1)      Motivating our Yale 63 classmates to self-publish our own books by re-presenting our esteemed contributions in published form

2)      Enabling us to self-publish our own books using the new low cost easy to use online capabilities

3)      Adding my own book to our imposing lists of books, and learning how to self-publish myself in the process.

4)      Document my own leanings so they might benefit others (in our class and outside) to encourage them self-publish

5)     Provide input as to how we got published, what systems and methods we used.

6)    Helpful insights regarding publishing from our extensive experiences 

The book is currently available as a softcover book for global sales through Amazon.com Books for $18.00 list priceper copy..  We plan to distribute our book through other distribution channels including Barnes and Noble and Google Books.   

Any/all net proceeds will go to our Class of 1963 treasury.

A free copy of the final book is available to our 1963 classmates here through our www.yale63.org  web site.  (just click the link above)

 7) Sales and promotion of our book:
