OUR BASIN OF RELATIONS, The Art and Science of Living with water is published. 

 

Thank you for your contribution in making this happen. Over fifty people have contributed. You will soon receive your copy of the book. 

 

I love it. The coffee table 13”x 11” book looks and reads better than I originally imaged. The excellence comes largely from the curation of great articles by informed experts, and writings, by Trevien Stanger. I refer to Trevien as Thoreau-like. You can’t put his prose down. And, he is clearly a passionate environmentalist, as are the seventeen people he gathered for articles in OUR BASIN.

 

We self-published, with Blurb, just 100 Contributor’s Edition books – that’s all we could afford.  Our cost was $70 a book – a single book order costs you $135 at Blurb – way out of line. I put the ‘shelf value’ of the book at $40. The reason for the high cost is the low number of books published.

 

But the good news is, the eBook with Blurb is just $10. I love it – the low cost, accessibility, mobility, zoomability – how can the hard cover compete? You can order the eBook at www.Blurb.com bookstore. 

 

 

We need your help! Trevien and I wish to raise enough money to publish a smaller version of OUR BASIN, in sufficient quantity, to offer to the general public, in bookstores all over, at an attractive cost – say $30. We feel the message of clean water, as cultural behavior, is particularly important… now.

 

Please do what you can to contribute and promote the book to others. We don’t have sufficient first edition Contributor’s Edition books (about 30) to raise the needed money, without major sponsors. 

 

We will publish another 100 Contributor’s Edition books at Blurb to help. However, it would be nice to go directly to publishing the smaller (10x8), low cost, public version. Accordingly, any leads you have for sponsorship, beyond the $100 book contribution is appreciated.

 

Contributions and Contributor’s Edition book orders can be made by payments to Clean Water Advocates, 60 Wolf Lane, Richmond, VT., 05477. Or, you and your contacts can order the book online for $100 at www.MySCGpriorities.com/buy-prints.

Thank you again for your help. And, here’s to clean water!
