A Wealth of Knowledge

[Edward G Skuchas]

1. Is that $35 donation of the $50 cost?
2. How about a typing group?  If you type 5 to 10 to 20 pages each into say Microsoft Word using a specified format, you get a copy of the completed "word processed" text for free.  Not meant to be a lot of typing, rather a quick type of the text so that it can be put into a more workable format.  A little bartering.
Once typed, PTM or authors can issue a printed document to which can be added annotations, pictures, diagrams, etc. making it more publishable.
Just a thought.

The original consists of 315 pages produced on a spirit duplicator, which of
course has resulted in inconsistent print density.  It was a bear getting
the copies we have.  I think if I were going to offer copies they would have
to come from the copies already made rather than from the original, and some
pages will therefore be somewhat dark.  We have the capability of producing
them in-house, but will likely be looking at a price of about $50 each, plus
shipping.  I'm willing to prepare copies to order if I can print them all at
one time, which implies an absolute deadline.  The other stipulation would
be that the information be for personal use only, not commercial.  This
would include a prohibition against further copying for any purpose,
including for anyone who may be claiming to be working on a book project.
Perhaps a signed agreement to this effect will need to accompany each order.

Think it over and let me know.  I'm going to Ireland for 10 days on May 15
and this will not happen before then in any event.  We'd need that deadline
I mentioned, with checks in hand here (payable to PTM for $55, for the sake
of argument, postpaid) by that date.

Is there any possibility that the book could be copied and sold?
