I would like one. My girl friend also works for a printing company. I'll check to see what a minimum run would be.

This has been the problem before. The publisher's always said they did not feel there was enough of a market for these type of books. So, we started using Shutterfly and ordered 25 books, cost more than $2,500. We put the word out on the various offshore and boat boards. The 25 sold in about 6 months time with the bulk of them going in the last month after people started talking about how good they were. We tried to get some pre orders for the next group and really did not have more than a few people willing to step up.

HORBA is not in the position to do what John Crouse did and self publish to the tune of more than $250,000. All of those books have not been sold yet from publishing date of 1989.

We have the material, if a publisher wants to,partner up with us, we are ready. As far as how,many numbers are needed would be there call.
