Paul,

While going through the old articles, I did see a mention of the author's interest in publishing a book of articles. That was a long time ago, around 1990. I contacted Marc Horovitz, and he has since lost touch with the author.

The reason that I asked is that the gentleman who wrote the articles for you was planning to publish a book version of them after he retired from garden railways. What happened?

An update: I've gone through our files and we'll soon be offering three collections of Just for Kids articles. I will let you know when they are live--things are being scanned now, so I am hoping for December 15 at the latest.

Hi Paul,

 

Just found your post--sorry for the delay in responding. No, we don't have plans to publish a just for kids book. However, your suggestion gives me an idea to offer some projects as PDF downloads. Also, you might want to check out Trains 4 Kids, a special issue just for kids put out by our sister publication, Trains. Here is that website: http://trc.trains.com/trains4kids

Do you have plans to publish a book version of "just for kids" projects?
