    I don't seem to be able to shrink the image of the book cover to fit the limits.

    Even if you try to upload a pic that's too big the Fchat software should shrink it down if it's a jpg or other common format. You can email it to my user name @gmail.com and I can try it if you still have problems.

    Even though the Fchat software will shrink it down, I think there is an upper limit beyond which it won't be accepted. Any basic photo software should easily shrink it to within range. If you're still having problems, PM me.

    Based on how things are going it should be available in about three weeks on Amazon and Kindle.

    I'm in for sure. Looking forward to it. It'll give me something to read on those long flights!

    Thanks, Lou. I'm holding my breath in hopes that it isn't too rambling and uninteresting in spots. As I mentioned before, it is a collection of memories about making my long trek and it isn't all about aviation. It ain't polished but then I ain't either. I think it has some fun stuff as well as maybe some interesting looks at times in the distant past and a peek at the early jet programs from the factory floor to engineering. I hope that it won't disappoint.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about, Bob. I may bring my copy to Paine Field's next Aviation Day so that you can autograph it!

    I just learned that it will be available on CreateSpace eStore and will be distributed in Europe and the UK. Price 20.00 USD. Should be available in two weeks now.

    I hope so, Terry. I wanted to do it in color because of the art but the price would have been too much , so it's in black and white. I wanted it to be available to just about anyone.
    I hope a bunch is sold from CreateSpace eStore, better royalty. Two weeks or less.

    I don't know how I can work that yet but I will find out. I think that I had better find a place to hide if this work isn't up to par and I have made it sound like something big when all I tried to do was to share some memories and fun stories. Regardless, I have started another book to cover the stuff that I had to leave out of the first one. So many times I have heard, " You're full of it!" and I'm beginning to believe it.
