I'm both happy and surprised to be able to announce...... ( insert trumpets here).......

...............my book, "Illegal Gambling Clubs of Toledo", has sold out. I never would have thought that it would sell out in just one month's time, but sure enough it did. Presently, I even have 25 sold copies on back order The second printing should be in about three weeks. I retained the final 10 copies of the first printing to be able to fill Amazon orders that come in during the next couple of weeks.

I'm looking to everyone to please let me know if they ran into any typos that might have been missed during the five proof readings of the first printing. I figure just in case...it doesn't hurt to ask.

Now for some more new interesting news that I have not publically mentioned before. In addition to the first printing, I made 25 copies of a special premium, limited edition. These copies were done on a super high quality, high gloss, heavy paper. In addition, each copy was numbered (1/25, 2/25, etc.) and signed by the author. To celebrate the first printing sell-out, I have decided to make 5 copies available for a very, very limited time, ending the offer on Wednesday morning at 9:30 DST. After that time the offer will be retracted.

The offer is on a first come, first serve basis. Copies are $36.00 each with $3.99 shipping. If you would like to purchase one of these special editions, please email me. The offer is not available at Happy Chipper Publishing, nor is it available on Amazon. Only the standard editions are available on those sites.

I would like to personally thank everyone that has purchased the book. I really appreciate all of your support. Thank you, thank you.

With Kind Regards, Terry
