(Unfortunately, I'm not setup for PayPal). At the same time, several US and Canadian hobby shops have contacted me about selling my book. So, I am responsive to LHS orders, and I offer reasonable dealer terms. <br /><br />If you have a LHS that would like to contact me, which will likely occur before I contact them, I am certainly receptive to such inquiries. <br /><br />Right now, keeping up with individual orders is occupying most of my time with the book. And it's still fun.<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-88906780346786331952011-05-30T10:48:15.766-04:002011-05-30T10:48:15.766-04:00Hi Robert,

I realized that there was no use having this information in a shoebox, unshared. I also wanted to transcribe it for my own use, and the whole project kind of revolves around both of these motivations.<br /><br />That others find the information useful and noteworthy is a 'big boat of gravy'.<br /><br />I realize that VIAphiles are a niche group, and VIAphiles that really get into the detailed data I'm presenting are a micro-niche group, but the response so far indicates that it's a very active and interested micro-niche.<br /><br />Thanks very much for your positive comment,<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-10458652003215561052011-05-30T08:27:05.652-04:002011-05-30T08:27:05.652-04:00Can I order with paypal or through my LHS?Can I order with paypal or through my LHS?Mannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-26526083035668275452011-05-30T01:39:25.188-04:002011-05-30T01:39:25.188-04:00Congratulations on your book release!

To be honest, there are some interesting and untouched railroad subjects out there that I wouldn't mind writing about myself.Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.com
