Just started Will Pitts book
Edited on Wed Aug-06-03 09:02 PM by brigadoon
I think he should be the keynote speaker at the Dem Conv. All he'd have to do is read the introduction!!

Thank you DUers for turning me on to this one.

3. I have had trouble finding it, am interested in reading, and am probably
going to have to break down-behind my husband's back because he doesn't like credit card usage on the net- and go to amazon.

14. Small book, small royalties
Getting paid was not the point, anyway. If I wanted to get paid, I'd be on Fox.

15. Wow.
Guess I didn't realize how little profit you make off each book. :( Big money is probably not what you were going for though, correct? :)

19. i will enjoy it, i'm sure!
I hope they ship it quickly so I can read it soon. Ashcroft tracks all purchases from my home, so your book may arrive with huge blacked out sections. ;)

It's a beer coaster. If they black anything out, it;ll become a pamphlet. :)

21. If you order it through the Animal Rescue Site, you provide a bowl
of food for a homeless animal for every dollar you spend. Barnes & Noble is one of their sponsors. It sounds as if the homeless animals are getting a better deal than Will is!:crazy:

26. I think that you need to renegotiate and demand at least one bowl of
kibble for every book that's sold! After all, you wrote this book!:D

28. I am so pleased for you. I pass on your Truthout editorials to friends and
fans whenever I encounter them. You dare to tell the truth, a rare commodity now in this sorry country, and I commend you. You will never gather too much kibble. Just pass it on to your local shelter or the numerous animal lovers whom you encounter on DU.:D

25. a face is only a frontal or sideview
of what is within.

You can have my face - I give it freely.

My personal freedom, now that's a different story!

32. Order it through the Animal Rescue Site
and provide food for homeless animals. I have been meaning to read Will's book. He was truly inspiring on C-Span tonight. I'm going to order it tomorrow.:-)

But the children have confiscated it until they are both done. Dammit, it's hell having smart kids.
