> 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
