Thinking about writing a RR article...

The book is called Two Track Main. It's about railroad people who experienced the changeover from steam to diesels back in the 1950's when I was growing up. I heard about this publishing services company, Xlibris, from a friend. Sent my manuscript to them and they came back with a galley proof about 6 weeks later. I was responsible for catching all errors, etc. Once I was satisfied with the product, I told them okay, and the book became available for publishing on demand (one copy at a time, or larger quantities). The final product is what they call a "perfect bound", glossy cover paperback. But if one wants, hardback service is available. My book includes pix and maps. I'm super pleased with the results from the interior layout to the cover. Over time, I've ordered many copies for resale at various retail outlets (I've even done some book signings). What's cool is Xlibris sets it up so Two Track Main is also available through Amazon.co., Barnes and Noble.com, Borders.com, as well as through Xlibris.com. I've sold a good number of books through these Internet locations. They even created a web site for my book, xlibris.com/TwoTrackMain.html. It provides a description and excerpt of the book. <br /> <br />Hope this helps. <br /> <br />John
