Subject: The new Shadow book
My latest book, "THE SHADOW: The History and Mystery of the Radio Program,
1930-1954," is due to arrive in two to three weeks, and all pre-orders will
ship the same day they arrive.
It's the largest book I've written to date, 850 pages. The retail price is
$[removed] plus $7 postage (it's so heavy that it could be described as a
cockroach killer).
A reminder that pre-publication orders pay no postage. However, that offer is
about to expire on March 21 or 22, because the book will be getting ready to
arrive here by that time.
So if you meant to buy it, do so now before you are stuck paying postage
costs. Remember that [removed] pays authors/publishers only 45 percent of
the retail price and when the
authors/publishers take into consideration the printing costs and the
shipping costs to ship inventory to Amazon, we are lucky if we make $3 profit
per book. Direct sales from the
publisher benefit the authors MUCH more.
A sample of the book in pdf can be found on [removed] and you can
also pre-order directly from there using a credit card or Paypal and pay no
postage (until March 21 or 22).
Lastly, since November when the Paypal buttons went up on the SHADOW page, a
percentage of the book sales from my web-site have been adding up and towards
the end of this month,
will be donated to the Cincinnati Old Time Radio Convention to help fund this
year's convention. This offer does expire March 21 or 22. If you needed an
incentive to buy the book, think
of it like PBS' pledge drive and help the hobby at the same time.

3/8
1925 Bernard McFadden was a physical culturist who had a radio show in
New York City. But not for long. McFadden failed to show up for his
daily morning program, causing a young, studio engineer, John Gambling,
to ad lib on the air for a solid hour. As a result, the station (WOR)
decided to give Gambling the morning announcer's job. John Gambling
stayed at WOR for many years, then turned the mike over to his son, who,
finally, turned the program over to his son ... all named John. Mr.
Gambling's Rambling with Gambling program attracted tri state (New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut) audiences in record numbers for over 70 years
on the 50,000 watt talk radio powerhouse at 710 AM on your radio dial
from New York each morning.

3/12
1933 Eight days after he was inaugurated, [removed] President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt presented his first presidential address to the nation.
It was the first of what were called Roosevelt's famous Fireside Chats.
The name, incidentally, was coined by newsman, Robert Trout. He thought
that the President sounded as if he was sitting with us in living rooms
all over the nation next to a roaring fire, just telling it like it was.
