Want a free copy of the upcoming What's Where in the Apple eBook?



Bob Tripp wrote to A2Central today with info on how you can get
yourself a free copy of the eBook:

"The electronic version of �What�s Where in the Apple?� is progressing
well.  We have received all of the Guide text conversions back from
our vendor in India and are currently doing minor clean-up.  The
biggest chore now is to re-enter the figures. These were just too
small in the printed version to be scanned and converted and must be
essentially re-done by hand.  We have completed the figure entry for
the first eight chapters � 12 to go!.

"We are expecting to received all of the Atlas and Gazetteer spread
sheets in the coming week.  They will require good proofing both to
correct any induced errors and to correct those that were in the
original.
   
"Anyone willing to proof read ten (10) of the Guide chapters or twenty
(20) of the Atlas or Gazetteer spreadsheet pages would get listed on
the Acknowledgments page in addition to a free copy of the final eWWA.
If you want to participate, please let me know ASAP and also indicate
whether you would prefer the Guide or spreadsheets.

"We have a Kickstarter project that you can find at:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/845678003/electronic-version-of-classic-whats-where-in-the-a

"This discusses what we are trying to do, includes a video with some
neat pictures of the original cover color-separations from MICRO and
other stuff.  We are offering the $15.00 discounted price to
Kickstarter Backers and a $50.00 Supporter deal.  Please check it out.

"If this works out well, we are considering doing an e-version of the
three-volume set �MICRO on the Apple�.

Bob has contact info on the eWWA page (http://ewwa.us) or you can
email me and I'll put you in touch with him.
