?? Calfee's book ??

Lynn,
I don't know if a book deal is coming or not. But if it did, we're talking about a collection of Calfee writings is PS, ARA newsletter, probably some posts from here. Maybe something else. From what I saw, before, my dogs got it, it's pretty voluminous. Just as speculation, what do you think a fair price would be? This is pure speculation. I pretty much know what I would pay and feel pretty good about it.

I actually got one of the books from Douglas but my father has yet to let me read it since it arrived.I believe it has around 275 pages in it.If a book deal does come out I am hoping we can get some signed copies from Bill and as to the value the signed copies would double the value.
If the proceeds exceeded expectations maybe even a spec rifle could be built for Wilbur Harris called "Chairman Of The Board" as he has been very patient through all that has happened.

I have all of Bills PS articles in binders and signed ARA books of Bills stuff. If I was to decide to sell these what do you think they would bring?

Wouldn't have a clue. I'm sure it would bring what a willing buyer and a willing seller would be willing to exchange without undue outside influence. That's fair market value to me an you.
I just wonder, some people have all these things in collection, a lot want them from what I see. If you don't have the magazines, you would have to obtain them, which is expensive and may be impossible. If you could borrow them, you would have to copy them, which is expensive and time consuming. I imagine cost on a low volume project such as this would be somewhere around $40 bucks a copy and I'm just going from my own experience of having things bound or made boundable. That's probably the break even point at best. Would they sell? They're not out there for sale right now, but I imagine they could be. How many takers would there be at cost (no profit) assuming that's about right?

Does Bill C. own the rights to his articles in PS, allowing him or anyone to reprint them, package them, and sell them?
Might want to check with PS about copyright ownership on this.

Groovy. I spoke with Dave about my own writing copyright issues with PS, and we just worked out our own plan to make sure all the bases are covered. Dave is suprisingly flexible on these terms, and I did not expect too much of a problem for Bill.
There are some really good on-line self-publishing websites that can produce an excellent quality book for a reasonable price. It would be worth looking into for Bill's text, and even further once permission is granted (or already has been) to just craft a book from scratch and publish a high-quality product.
That's the route I'm taking for my second book.

Book of Calfee
Beau,
I, for one, would be interested in going on the list to buy a Calfee book. 'twould be fun to quote book, chapter and verse from such a tome just to get the kind of reactions that arise from this site! I have learned a lot since I found out about this site, I started coming here because of Bill Calfee. I know that some of the legendary threads have been deleted, which I think is sad. I did not get to read them. I periodically see someone refer to these. Hopefully they would be in the tome.
I want to become a better shooter, and learn as much as I can about accuracy.
Uh..., er..., um..., it ain't gonna have any of them there liverwurst sammitch recipes and such in it is it?
Thanks!

Thanks Lynn, but since you work for the U.S Government, DON"T send me anything. Anything I receive from your return address will go in my dumpster, unopened. Send it to Beau and he can get it to me.

Naw, but, I don't want anyone that works for the government who is talking about "his agents" sending me anything. I don't know what branch of the government Lynn works for but what would it matter? Anything he wants to send me can be sent to you.

Hey Lynn
Lynn, why don't you send 2 copies to Beau for me. Better yet just send the money, I have all the ARA copies and all the "Precision Shooting" articles that Bill wrote. I have read most of them. Are you a secret agent for the government? Just curious?

Lynn,
I do want an autographed one also, but let Beau send it. I would be terrified getting a package from Pelosi's Kalifornia address. I know it would save you postage.

I have a couple freinds working at IRS I'll see if they have your addresses on file so we know were to send them.No sense bothering Beau.
I just noticed that James has all of Bills articles from ARA and Precision Shooting so I guess he doesn't need a copy.Why is James keeping those articles?
