I received word last Thursday that the company in Reno that stores and distributes my book is going out of business. That meant I needed to find a way to move the remaining books to Fresno and a place to store them. After looking at the various costs involved, both for rental vans, commercial shipping and storage, and the lack of sales, I have decided to drive to Reno myself in my daughter's SUV. I will fit as many books as possible, probably about 15 cases, into the car and bring them to my garage in Fresno. The the rest of the books will be destroyed.
My one regret is that I was not never able to get the book into the various libraries along the coast because I think it was the best book written about California's piers. I am willing to basically give the book for free to the libraries but cannot afford the shipping which is nearly $40 for a ten-book case.
If anyone cares to donate PFIC to their local libraries I will make this offer — which can only be good through next Tuesday. Go to the order page and submit a $50 order and I will send you a case of books to your address. The $50 will cover the cost of shipping and the charges from my distributor. It will be up to you to donate/take them to a library (or perhaps a fishing club). All I ask is that you do not order the books and try to turn around and sell them. That's not playing fair. As said, whatever books are left over after I take my shipment will be destroyed.
