I've been waiting for this! I have already read the 1971 copy that I picked up at my University's library.
I AM planning to purchase a copy to donate to my university library (and also a copy of Olchar E. Lindsann's, 'The Ecstatic Nerve') but for right now I am pretty low on the income. Haha.
Ask your public (or school) library who handles acquisitions; then ask that person if they will insure it goes on the shelves if you donate a copy, and how long it takes to get it on the shelf. Some libraries have a "new books" section where new items are prominently displayed.
Thats exactly what I planned on doing. I plan on donating a copy to the campus library if possible. If they can put it in the new book section I will probably purchase additional copies later and donate them. I'm a college student so I don't have a whole lot of money on hand, but it will definitly be worthwile. Also, if the book happens to be popular, perhaps the library might purchase a few of their own.

Make sure to buy it from authorhouse, and not Amazon, etc. Mike is self-publishing the book, and gets a better share of sales directly from the publishing house.

Running for office and just released a book, sounds ripe for an interview.
If noone bites at first, tell the media you are making a "major campaign announcement", get all of the press out there covering the announcement live, and then plug your book! ;-)

Why is there no mention of this?
Submitted on January 25th, 2008 by seventy-oneOn the front page or on the website citizen-power.com?
Also, is this being shipped to any bookstores?
Oh, and unrelated, but out of curiosity is Sen. Gravel's appearance at the Sundance Film Festival gonna be on YouTube?
Wait!
