First
I would like to express a few thoughts.

A reflection of what man has done in the recording of his history:
From the beginning of time man has wanted to tell his story, he has left written history on walls of caves and on stone tablets telling of what he has done. Of course, throughout the ages there has been many improvements made in the way stories have been told. I believe there are still people in isolated parts of the world that do not have a written language, these tribes have relied on story telling as they gathered around a fire. As the written word came into being it has been put down on paper into the language of their ancestry. I suppose we could call this publishing in a primitive sort of way, this demonstrates to me that more stories have been told, than has been written as published articles.
Now this comes down to you, how do you want to tell your story? On the wall of a cave or in a fine looking book either published by others or maybe you will do it yourself.
This is what this "web site" is all about, the self-publishing of your own book.
Also the fixtures to do it with.

You want to publish your own book,
well, read this.
When I started writing my book I was looking for a publisher to do the book for me. With all the negative information I received I soon gave up on the effort of getting my book published by a pro.
In looking at other book binding tools on the web I was soon convinced that I could self publish my own book. Well now I needed a (binding press) as every one calls them. I call them Jigs and fixtures. Anyway I experimented with a few different ways and came up with a simple and expedient way of clamping and gluing my books.
In the process I have become more than an 84 year old author for now I want to get these Jigs and Fixtures out to other self publishers as they might want an easy and simpler way of putting their books together.
I told my wife back in March of 1997 that I wanted to write a book and leave some information of my ancestry for my children and all future descendants. She said your crazy you didn't even finish high school, what do you know about being an author. ---But I did it anyway, with her being very supportive of me.
Well, in the book there is some insight of what life was like for a young boy back in the twenties and thirties, including some of the tribulations and hardships of the depression years. And a lot history of Harrisville NY.
O' Here is the book I put together for those that might have the incentive to publish their own book.

Do you have your book ready for printing, here is a list of things to do.
#1: Put it on a C/D or on a large capacity disk similar to a ‘Iomega’ zip disk and save it for future generations to see.
#2: Or, if you actually want to get it out on the market and peddle it to your friends and for the world to see, get it in the hands of a publisher that does printing for self publishers.
#3: Or start printing one book at a time, soon you can have a dozen books ready to go out.
#4: Or if you need some help, call me at (Last Chance Publishing) I am not an expert but I’ll be glad to help in anyway that I can.
#5: And maybe you will need some of my fixtures for binding your books when you decide to publish your own.
