may have once been higher, but I do not know.

If we are desirous to bring new participants to our Apple II community, then
it would be well-worth the effort to promote the fact that WE are still
alive and doing NEW and interesting things with our old computer.
Books such as this help attain this goal. Every review on Amazon (or
elsewhere) helps people become aware that there is still something to do
with the Apple II. Steven Weyhrich's book, when it is published, will also
help.
We need to reach larger audiences beyond our community of Apple II
newsgroups and web sites.
New members of the community of course means more people programming, or
using your programs, or purchasing new hardware and software.
In June, I sold about 100 copies of the book, but there is still a lot of
promotion to be done. Earlier this week, I sent emails to all Apple II user
groups that I could find telling them of discount offers for the book. I
received 3 responses from about 20 emails that I sent.
If someone is interested in writing a review of the book, but has not
purchased a copy, he should email me and I could send him a free copy. If
you HAVE read the book, but have not posted a review, please do so on
Amazon.com.
Apple II Forever.
