Hi Friends,
Just bumping this back to the top again. I received the books and have enjoyed reading them.
The bigger book on survival stories has many stories culled from National Park Archives and other sources. It is an excellent read, and as one reads the stories, you have to truly admire what some of the rescurers went through to save folks from themselves. A real eyeopener in many cases.
The second book is not at all what I expected from just hearing the title. It is informative, well written and certainly provides a wealth of knowledge regarding the subject and the handling thereof.
I've been waiting for another ETS member to express interest, I believe that Minime may be interested....so, I'll PM Minime and find out. If I don't hear from Minime by this coming Wednesday (is that a long enough time to be fair? If not post and we'll try to set up a guidline of notice time) then I'll ship the books to the next interested member that posts in this thread.
It would seem approproate that this thread contain the requests / mailing dates / receipt dates and interest notices of the participants in this book sharing. As menioned above, actual address information is best handled offline via email, PM...
Again, I'd like to express my thanks to Skater for the original offer which makes this book sharing possible.
fyi The shipping is not bad at all, Skater sent the books from California to Florida for $2.26 Media rate. It took about 5 days.
So...hey Mimime are you next? PM sent today. Who will be after Mimime?
Regards,
Comanche7
ps
Doug/Chris:
Would this column be more appropriate in the Campfire Forum?
