Status of Broom 3

June 17th, 2009

I received a query from Karen about Book 3 and whether I’d be at the Mensa AG Conference this July in Pittsburgh. In short, it’s “almost” ready and, no, I won’t be in Pittsburgh.

But…I will be at the Reno regional Mensa event in October. For sure with Broom 3!

Broom 3 is “almost” done. It’s been “almost” done for quite some time—months even! It seems there’s one little bit that didn’t satisfy a key reviewer. He thought it irrelevant. I thought it vital to set up the central problem that’ll be addressed in Broom 4. So…I’ve rewritten most of it, but still have a couple chapters to go.

Big smiles. That’s what describes the reception the new Ridgway Railroad Museum book received when I dropped off the copies that the printer had delivered the day before. The book, full of great stories and old-time b&w photos of various railroads in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado, is now available at the museum and also through our catalog. I put the “order now” button up last night and already had orders today. Check out the catalog and the book, Narrow Gauge Railroading in the San Juan Triangle: The Rio Grande Southern, the Ouray Branch of the D&RG and Otto Mears’ Silverton RR. You’ll be delighted too!
