Good on you lad! ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyle Cassidy" <kcassidy@asc.upenn.edu> To: <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2006 8:15 AM Subject: [Leica] in which kyle signs a photo book deal ..... Hey kids, It's been a long time coming. Last monday I signed a deal with Krause Books, a division of F+W publications to publish "Armed America: Portraits of Gun Owners in Their Homes" Of all the publishers I talked to, they were the ones who I thought fit best with my vision of the book and were by far the most enthusiastic about it. I'm about a third of the way done with it. August 17th I fly to Green Bay with my assistant, Phil, and we're driving from there south to Saint Louis, then Kentucky and then east through Ohio doing more portraits. If you're along that route (http://www.armedamerica.org/second-road-trip/route2.jpg) and have a gun in your closet or your truck or under your bed, please drop me a line off list. Many thanks to Ted Grant and B.D. Colen both of whom provided invaluable advice when I was shopping this and looked at my book proposal more times than anyone should have to while I was in the process of revising it. Thanks also to Peter Miller who doesn't know it, but who was a big influence on me. Publication is scheduled for Fall '07 keep sending out those query letters, someone will write back, kc www.armedamerica.org _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
