Groundrush
Hey what's up. The publishers of my book, Groundrush, just returned all the rights to me. I'd like to get it reprinted so that people who are interested could read it. It won't make any money for anyone. It's purely a labor of love. So if anyone knows anyone who can make that happen, pm me. The original type face still belongs to Jonanthon Cape, (the publisher) so it needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
Cheers. Jakey.

Hi Jakey,

would you consider online publishing as an ebook?

I remember reading the book in one sitting after finally getting my hands on a copy, BASE porn Wink.

Another option is to make it a free audiobook (aka: podiobook) and put it up for free at www.podiobooks.com. Then have some copies printed up for sale for people who want an autographed copy.

Several folks have gotten book and movie deals over at podiobooks.com. Check it out!

If you are truly certain that it will not make any more money, you can release the text online. I imagine a number of people (myself included) would want to read it.

There are various Print on Demand Websites on the internet where you can set your book up for distribution. Most of them are free up front and some will get your book listing added to places like amazon.

I guess that means that people would have to pay for the book but they would be getting a properly printed and bound book for their money rather than a bland text file.

We could get them printed in China...type setting is cheap.

If you don't want a lot of them printed...we could top load them onto one of my full 20' or 40' cans.

The key is to classify the printed material as trade show information material so that you pay no import tax on them.
