I am sending this on behalf of Kim Goldberg. Please reply directly to her. bg ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Wed, 10 Apr 1996 19:44:51 -0400 From: at491@freenet.carleton.ca (Kim Goldberg) Subject: Free Books Reply-to: at491@freenet.carleton.ca Dear Friends, I am sending this to those of you who have shown interest in either of my books about community access cable TV (plus a few other folks who might be interested). The books are: -The Barefoot Channel: Community TV as a Tool for Social Change -Vox Populi: Getting Your Ethnic Group on Community TV My publisher, New Star Books in Vancouver, informed me today that due to slow sales, and in order to reduce his warehouse costs, he will soon be destroying most of the remaining copies of my books. This is one of the unfortunate realities of publishing. However, it also means that quantities of these books can now be acquired for the cost of shipping alone -- about $15 per box. The books themselves are free. Barefoot Channel comes 51 copies to a box. Vox Populi is 69 to a box. They cannot be shipped in smaller units. I would like to save as many copies as possible from the shredder, so if you are affiliated with or know of any group that could use a quantity of either of these titles, please contact me a.s.a.p. Anyone who acquires books under these circumstances is free to do whatever they want with them: sell them, give them away, donate them to schools and libraries, use them in membership and fundraising drives for your organization -- whatever. You do not need to return any proceeds to the publisher or me. Vox Populi, while written for ethnic and multicultural groups, makes a pretty good "how to" book for any groups or activists looking to make community TV shows. Please circulate this to any person or group who might be interested. Time is of the essence. My publisher will dispose of any unclaimed titles by the end of this month (April). Anyone who would like one or more boxes of either of these books (titles cannot be mixed in a box - they're already packed), should contact me be a.s.a.p. Thanks!
