Daniel Ruesch is my brother and a hell of a graphic designer. I forgot to put my by line on the top of the article, so naturally you gravitated to the strongest image on the page which is the ad for my brother. Strangely enough, this really makes my point. To sell a book, you HAVE to capture the buyer's attention. Bill Ruesch Jason,

And I think key is who you intend to market the book to. That makes all the difference in the world, as your example showed. Thanks!

How many copies would you like? And yes, before you even have to ask I will sign them for you. As a progress report, The Whistlin' Salamander has been written. The manuscript is going through yet another edit by Tami and myself, then off to a professional editor. The cover design is in progress. We still have the page layouts to complete after the editing then we can go to a finished book. I'm thinking it is probably six months away, maybe less. Hi Joe,
