D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Two missed apostrophes, and one grammatical glitch ('on both here and VB' - reads better as 'both on here and on VB')Also 'Amazon.' should be 'Amazon:'See - I'm an excellent poof-reader Maybe I better get 4 proof readers.....

allcinaye 336 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Okay the "gently persuasive" General on VB along with the other messages of support for this project on both here and VB have almost convinced me to do it.Ive being doing a little research since and there seems to be a lot of merit in self publishing in the form of an e-book through Amazon - this keeps the cost of the book down (as little as 75p) and negates any publishing costs. This is not a money making exercise but rather an attempt to get the perspective of the Rangers support out there.All that I would require would be a proof reader (perhaps 2) and a cover designer.Here's the link to self publishing on Amazon.http://www.dailymail...ing-e-book.htmlId welcome your thoughts on this.D'Art,to take this task on without any financial reward is a very noble act indeed and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you every success in doing so.

I deliberately don't have any advertising on my blog and writing a book is not a million miles away from blogging. If i put all my blogs together it would be a book in itself ! Thanks for your kind wishes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your kind wishes.Personally, I think that the time and effort involved in creating something of this importance should be accordingly rewarded and I would certainly be willing to pay more than the 75p for it that you have suggested.
