Great read, it is making it way around my friends and family.

Thanks again for your generosity Veracity!

Let me know if you ever plan on doing a follow up book, I'd like to be interviewed

I don't need one for free. But I did look it up and purchase it from the big internet bookseller

.

ETA: LOL did you really interview 87 people for this? Was that planned?

Yes it is, but it most likely won't be autographed....if that matters. ISBNs are now 13 numbers long....but my book came out when they were still 10 numbers long. It was assigned a new 13 digit one, but I don't know what it is.

Ten digit one: 0-9761058-4-5

Did I? Absolutely.

There's no way I could have made that stuff up. Besides, people like talking about themselves. That was the easy part.

On an unrelated note, just tonight alone, 22 book requests came in!

What is going on out there?!

Whatever it is, it's nice. I'm glad to see it.

Was there any tongue in cheek with the "87 personal interviews?"
Im liking it so far.

You know, as an AR15.com member, I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know what the whole "87" think is about.
Is it racial? I cannot remember.

But no, it was a coincidence.

87 is like 42 in Hitchhikers Guide, if that makes any sense. It is THE answer to anything.

Got my copy today from Amazon. It was signed anyway! Scanned a couple quick passages, looks like a good book.

Good job.

Guys,

Although the book was critically acclaimed, it never took off. The reviews were all unqualified raves....but it was lost among all the weight loss books and the fluffy stuff that seems to get the best media attention.

Thanks!

James,

Let me start out by saying THANK YOU! I really hate to read, but I started reading your book the day I got it (Today) and man, this in incredible. I am only on page 16, and it hit me. I was thinking back about what you wrote in your first post of this thread. The one above.

I felt compelled to reply to this thread and tell you to PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH damnit!

You already did what you wanted. You got it published. But are you going to accept that is just "didn't take off"... are you content with that... remember... no "what if's"

What can YOU do to make it take off!

I'm already adding this book as gifts to buy for Christmas presents. There are several people I know that would enjoy it. I hope you still receive royalties from any sold....

Thank you!

ETA- I'm sending you a IM. Have a favor to ask.

Got the book today, thanks for sending and signing. Looking forward to reading it.

Watch your mailbox.

Recently received mine, am about 1/3 of the way through, and really enjoying it.

Thanks again!

This is an excellent book!!!

Maybe it's my age, but I found the premise of the book interesting so I bought it off Amazon.

I loved the two kinds of interviews equally; those who followed their dreams to happiness and those with the regrets for not having done so.

I am giving it to my daughter now. She is thinking about the direction of her life.

Thanks for the great book!

Just finished it myself. Good read, as I hate to read, and I was able to finish this book. I think this would be a great read for someone in their high school age.

At 31, there are still a lot of things I could take from this book, but other areas I feel I could have been one of the one's interviewed

. If I could only go back and re-do some things...

I also am interested in the question, "Do you still get royalties off the book?" I am very interested in a copy, but don't need one for free. I would be glad to buy one, either directly from you, or from a seller where you could get a kickback. You could respond here or send me a pm if you like, I just found the Book section, and then this thread, a little late to the game, but am very interested in reading it, I read a lot and always need something good to read.

Do what you need to do brother, but you can always get one from me. I haven't counted it up in a while, but I think I've sent over 200 books out to AR15 guys since April.

Yes, if you buy it through Amazon I get a royalty, but that's not what it's about. The grateful emails and letters I've received from AR15.com members has made all the difference.

Do you have a digital copy of the book? I have an e-reader and it would be cheaper that sending out a hard copy. If you do not, I will gladly pay postage or whatever else you need. Let me know.

Thanks!!

It has been a while since you sent me your book and I just thought that I would pop in here and tell you Thank You. It is a very quick, interesting and motivational read. What I really enjoy about the book is that you can pick it up any time you would like and read the section that mosts interests you without missing out on something the happened earlier in the book. This works out great because I grab it every time I go on vacation to re-center myself. Because you gathered so much information from so many types of people I think that most people would be able to relate to someone represented in the book. Most likely, if given enough time, a person can relate to most of the people represented in the book at different times in your life.

Thanks Again for not only writing the book but also for sharing it with so many people.
