Several points have already arisen relative to launching "Recollections 
of a Radio Receiver".  This posting, hopefully, will address them.

1.  The all-in cost to buyers in any/all of the 50 United States, 
including 1st class postage charges, is exactly $10 no matter where you 
are located.  The shipping cost is constant since USPS 1st Class is 
weight-sensitive only.  For those ordering from other countries 
(amateurs in Canada and the UK have both raised this issue), I have a 
task of establishing trans-national postage charges, customs charges, 
and how to convert payment in "coin of the realm" to the Yankee Dollar.  
This is going to take me a while to figure out, and first I have to 
resolve my present web hosting situation.

2.  For those that apparently felt $10 was a bit excessive, the basis 
for that cost is provided in paragraph 9 of Book Notes on my web page 
www.w6hht.com.  The price remains $10.

3.  For those who do not have a printer, or a printer that does not 
presently work, and hence cannot download/print/mail-return the 
order-form, see paragraph 6 of Book Notes on my web page for an 
alternative ordering method.

4.  I do appreciate the efforts of those who, hoping to help me quantify 
book inventory levels, indicated they were interested in purchasing a 
book.  However, to clarify my paleolithic cash-and-carry business 
method, please understand that to convert your interest into an e-book, 
you need to send me a book order plus $10.  I will acknowledge by e-mail 
receipt of your order, and advise where you are in the present "batch" 
being accumulated.  In a nutshell, I will hold the orders + payments 
until I have 10 or more, then make a production run and ship on a 
first-in/first-out basis.  I will advise by e-mail (if you gave me 
yours) the date I put your e-book into the mail.  Further details are in 
paragraph 5 of Book Notes on my web page.

I will address any future questions anyone may have either via my web 
page, or directly via e-mail.  My thanks to all for your interest.
