I may take out an ad in the Leader. I do have an ad set up for the PTHS Alumni newsletter, and of course, I'll be emailing and posting on Facebook. Am hoping to put a few copies in a book store in downtown Port Townsend and I will probably sell it on eBay.
I decided not to sell on Amazon because it costs $15 a month (I think?) and you need an ISBN#. I was going to get one but I realized my book will mostly interest those folks with a Port Townsend connection. And that ISBN with bar code costs $150! A little steep considering I don't even know how many I will sell.
Not to brag, but I like this book and I think people will enjoy it. I never brag on myself (except when I'm being sarcastic) but I will say -- this one is pretty good.
I ended up with 256 pages and dozens and dozens of photos. All black and white and paperback. Cost will be $20 with free shipping. I do intend to try and deliver copies to PT, Chimacum, Hadlock, and Sequim folks. I'm attaching a chapter list here so you can get a general idea of what the pages contain.
I'm going to share this blog post on Facebook to get more coverage. Please share it on your page.
I assume the book will be printed and delivered the first of April but I'm taking orders now. Those of you who already ordered (about 55 of you) --THANK YOU SO MUCH!
