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!
