I just spent the last 4 days revising the rough layout of the book. It is now back in the hands of the editor. From 1/1 through 1/7 I built a booth to use to promote the book at gunshows. I gave it a trial run at the Ogden show 8, 9, 10. This is a pic with it setup at Ogden. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a550/wyo1895/book%20sales%20booth_zpsrx0sorhd.jpg) The 99's are personal ones that appear in the book. I tried to place them staggered but they wouldn't stay in place. I have to revise that. The stand is free standing and is a prototype for my new gunshow stands. David

It's on 6 wheels, 4 of which lock, I also put retractable landing gear on the back which I put down once it's in place.

Our local on line newspaper, pinedaleonline.com has an article about the book. It includes some pages reprinted from the rough layout copy of the book. David

Got a lot of attention at Ogden. One of the judges even tried to judge it.

I won't go into the hoops I've been jumping through with the layout revisions.
They have moved back the delivery date until some time in May. I raised hell because I need books for the Ohio Gun Collectors Association show May 8 and 9. They are now saying maybe they can get books to me by then. They are putting me between a rock and a hard place because I don't want spend the money and time to go to Ohio if I don't have books. I can't trust them to deliver the books considering all the other broken promises. The Ohio people bent over backwards to get me a membership which is required to display at their show. I hate to cancel on them.
I am also thinking they may not get books to me in time for the Colorado Gun Collector's Association show in Denver May 22 and 23. If I don't get to sell books at these shows I will miss my two best gun show opportunities this year. The book will be old news by 2017. For these reasons I may cut back my order to 250 at first. I will still number them X through 500 and hope they sell well enough for me to order the second 250 copies. Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com have already discounted the price which will further hurt my sales. I have no idea when I'll have books to send out to people who have prepaid. If anyone who has prepaid wants their money back PM me.
Your thoughts on this dilemma would be greatly appreciated. David

Im good, you would think they would let you sell some before they ship to the big outfits, and have the price locked for at least the 1st 6months, but I know nothing about the process, wishing you luck! Best John

David, I am fine with getting my 2 copies whenever. When things are out of your control there is not much you can do. Best of luck getting the copies you need for the shows, Tom.

Thanks guys. I almost feel like they don't want me selling the books myself. Maybe they think it cuts into the big guy's sales but I think just the opposite. The books I sell will get shown to other people who don't get to contact me and they will go to amazon or b&n. David

Methinks this is just about the norm to get something published. Keep your chin up and it will all work out. As for the book being old news by 2017, I wouldn't worry---Murrays' is being sold all the time and it's not just one year old.
