New book from Peter and Hilary?

[Dozytoes]

I am just about to read the final pages of FOPTA and I have to say it is the best book I have read to date on the subject of vaccinations and the general insanity and illogic of the medical profession. I think this book should be essential and required reading for all new parents and I'm going to be circulating my copy as widely as I can. I may have to ask for more copies, Hilary! :D

Can I ask - do you and Peter have another book in the pipeline at all? I'm going to feel rather bereft once I have finished FOPTA and it would be nice to have another volume to look forward to!

Sue,

I too am waiting for the next book ;-) In the mean time, if you like books that challenge the current norm you may like 'Your Life in Your Hands' by Prof Jane Plant. She suggests that it is Dairy Products that are causing 1 in 10 women to have breast cancer. (not very good for NZ in know)

Also Largely Happy by Lynda Finn. She suggests that it is the diet industry that is causing the 'obesity epedemic'. She also wrote a book called Healthy kids Happy kids. A book for parents with larger children.

I think Lynda Finn is so cool, I know her personally and have a great deal of respect for her.

I think that all women should read these books. They have certainly helped me become more informed.

Love
Justine

That's interesting. I must get myself a copy.

Sue I've just finished the first draft of a talk which I'm going to be giving to some doctors. The reading for that took me three months. the medical panel going through it now, has said that it would be fantastic for a next book. the bare bones of it, is 54 pages in word.

HOWEVER... there is a problem.

we've spent three years doing nothing but writing, and wrapping and sending out books ourselves. I know for one, since my husband does all the wrapping etc, that the last thing he wants on the list is another book to do the same thing with. He wants time away from that.

It had to be this way, because no publisher would publish the book, so if we wanted to do the book, AND have control over it, then we had to do it ourselves, and take on that responsibility.

After this talk, I will take a break because I'm very tired.

But whether what I've written is ever put into a book, I don't know.

I don't know if there is a "market" for a pdf book.

Market isn't the right word. Since total donations haven't even matched postage out, let alone capital costs to do either book, the easiest thing would be to write a book as a pdf, and toss it out there as a free for all, "come and get it" . It would sure save us a raft of thankless packing and postage work.

But I for one, would never read a book as a pdf book. I like to curl up in a chair, or in bed, and read. Computer books and I are allergic to one another :D

Have you considered Lulu publishing? Its not something i know much about though.

North Atlantic? They published all of Coulter's Divided Legacy editions, and they are chock full of controversy... all 5000 or so pages.

1) Why would anyone, wanting to be taken seriously, go to any publisher that publishes on shamanism, crop circles and stuff which by it's very nature, tars you as "unserious" ??!!! when it comes to vaccination issues, being tarred by association isn't a good idea.

You know exactly what happens when you put up whale.to on a provaccine board as a reference.

2) Will check out Lulu.

... have done so. At this point, it would seem that Lulu requires computer skills and an understanding of technology that I don't possess, and doesn't seem to accommodate footnotes...

I still read every page of each edition of Divided Legacy, and I considered it to be very serious.

I guess I was unclear on your goals and reasons for being published. Since I'm not an author, I have no frame of reference.

[Momtezuma Tuatara]

My aims and objectives as an author are to provide information which will give people what they need to stand up to a system which is often diametrically opposed to their needs.

Whoever aligns themselves with a pro-natural pro-parent position, will face obstacles and will have no credibility. So the bottom line is that in the eyes of the medical profession you have no credibility. You will be accused of pseudo-science; message massage etc(all the things that in fact, they are experts at).

Dotors would take one look at North Atlantic's brief, and consider it cuckoo-land, and therefore, any book published with them, has an unnecessary perception hurdle right there. It doesn't matter that their take on it, is hypocritical, and that it's a pot calling black issue in a sense.

But it does matter to me, that any parent who has a copy of any book I write, doesn't have an unnecessary barrier before they start, which is... the publisher who does the work.

After a long talk with Peter, it could be that there will be another book. In what format, is uncertain yet.

I know Phillip Day owns a company called "Credence Publications". I have read many of his books and attended numerous seminars. He also runs an organisation called "Campaign for Truth in Medicine".

Here is a link to his site:

I was thinking today Hilary if you were to write another book is there anyway you could pack the postage and packaging part off to someone esle? If I lived closer I would volunteer :)

[Momtezuma Tuatara]

How would that person deal with the costs of that?

[3monkeys]

Give someone a pile of paper, a pile of postage stickers and say when I get an order I will forward it and the rest is up to you. I dont know. But there must be a simple way, surely.
