An update from Don Burgett regarding this Kickstarter Campaign and all his books.
=================================================================
Dear Backers,
We know this has been a long time coming but the day has finally arrived! Today we were able to finally click on the “approval” button to sell my four book titles under my own name via Create Space/Amazon - Print on Demand. www.createspace.com
First - It was a long and difficult struggle to gain ownership of my personal works from the publisher(s). A six year endeavor!
Second - I was naive to think that it was going to be a fairly simple task to republish the books, on my own, through print on demand. After all they were already in print…Right? Wrong! As I discovered, it was much more complicated than I could have ever imagined. Because I did not have access to the original electronic files; some, most or all of the book(s) needed to be scanned and then converted to an electronic word file. Within that process, many of the words, maps, etc. became scrambled, deleted, moved and/or misspelled. Editing was very time consuming. With the help of good people, we were able to make the corrections, do a final proof and now make available to the public my four book titles; Currahee!, Road to Arnhem, Seven Roads to Hell and Beyond the Rhine.
Third – Today I have placed a book order, so that I may ship out to my Kickstarter Backer’s the book sets that were promised. If you are a Backer that is to receive both, the four books and the new fifth book, I will ship the four books now and the new fifth book once it is available. Our hope is to have it completed and for sale by Christmas.
Fourth – I apologize for the long wait, and thank you for your patience and continued support.
