Hi All,

First of all, I've got to get those profits from that announcement to JimRob..so thanks to recent posters for getting me out of procrastination mode.

CodeToad> The book is not about "comparing" anything to FEMA. It's meant to suggest to "rank and file" citizens that they should not rely on FEMA to come rushing over the hill in time of disasster (as history has repeatedly demonstrated).

hummingbird> I've received only very positive reviews from those who have provided feedback, so I'm sure you'll be quite pleased. I wrote the book as if I was going to need it to survive myself (which may very well prove to be the case with the current news of the day).

Hetty_Fauxvert> Thanks for asking the question about publication...this is something I proceeded with very carefully (and the method varies from author-to-author). I decided to publish and promote the book myself so that I wasn't paying someone else for doing it, and I have been very pleased with the results. Right now I only sell the book from my nofema.com web site.

The book was developed using the same 'LaTeX' publishing software that is used to produce college textbooks. The result is that it "looks and reads" much more like a professionally-produced book than many books in the genre (the bibliography alone is 19 pages of small print!). I'm producing the book from CreateSpace.com (owned by Amazon), which I can't recommend enough for those who are self-publishing (however, lulu.com is worth considering if you want to publish electronically).
