TO ALL: If you purchased TBON and have enjoyed it, good for you. If you missed out and just wish you had one now but think the current price is prohibitive, that's just your bad luck. But I think it

Unfortunately, there is no possibility of a reprinting, according to Norm. Something about the printer going out of business, and the plates long gone.... <snip> Maybe at these prices, Norm can be co

"Plates" may be lost, Chris, but a copy of the book can be disassembled, scanned, and reprinted with minimal loss of quality and at surprisingly low cost. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7

I have always wondered why this was not done. This is not rocket science, but maybe Norm doesn't want to go through the exercise, because of the money involved, both expense and profit. Larry

Believe me all (not just necessarily you Larry,) that at $50.00, I am willing to bet that the curmudgeon made no profit at all considering the costs associated with a hard-bound book, shipping, etc.

I agree, but things have changed since the Book was published. It now costs around $7 or $9 per copy to have a camera-ready 250-page book printed. Costs go up slightly with more pictures or greater l

Hhmm, that's about $0.80 a copy, plus say $1.75 for a label, package and postage. I'll but one Marc. When you getting the rights and publishing? (8-) -- Steve Laifman Editor http://www.TigersUnited.c

Curious why is Norman being called curmudgeon? Here is Webster's definition - cur7mudg7eon (k...r-m>j"...n) n. An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions. I don't know Norman but

I hate to speak for somebody else, but that's never stopped me in the past. My *impression* from talking with Norm is that he enjoys the collector status. And hey, once you get as old as him (just ki

Thanks Larry, and I agree. Anyway, the "curmudgeon" thing is a joke and poking fun at Norm. Great guy who is VERY opinionated; but then, I like that and somewhat share the noble attribute. Actually,

Vitriolic !!? You're gonna put TBON on CD, (books on tape) "As read by the author." !!? I can ride around in my car listening to Norm wax not so sentimental on Algers? It'll still be worth $400 !
