Glad to see it will be available in local bookstores. Any possibility of an author-signing event at one - say, Resistance or San Marco?

Yes, dates have not been set but I'm sure there will be some book signing opportunities in the future.

Thanks! So much research has been done over the years that the time came to package it up as another way for people to learn and experience the history.

^Thanks! For those who have pre-ordered, your autographed copies are already in the mail or will be mailed soon, as we're still waiting to receive the hard cover books from the publisher. Nevertheless, the soft cover books are already in most of the national chain and local bookstores now. If you want an autographed copy, you can order one from here:
