Is This Heaven?
No. It's Iowa.
Iowa in the fall and I can see how it could be confusing.
I received my copies of "Cost of Freedom."
Wow.
Sure. I'm one of the co-editors, and I would say wow, right?
But COF is definitely a wow book.
It is a coffee-table style book with lots of photos and great stories. Order the deluxe version - more color photos - it is absolutely worth it.
You won't get this kind of quality, truthful, passionate coverage from either mainstream book publishers or mainstream newspapers, television, magazines.
But you do get it from Michael Annis and Howling Dog Press. We owe Michael so much for this incredible contribution.
Wow.
Wow.
"Cost of Freedom" is a collection of stories of peace groups and individuals around the country who have been fighting the good fight against bad Bush all these years.
It has been recommended by Thom Hartmann of Air America, Harry Belafonte, Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, Ramsey Clark.

There is a need to get out the word about COF. It really is a celebration of resistance to the despot George Bush.
Whitney Trettien, a grad student at MIT, is the other co-editor of the book.
We need to get the book into all the progressive, neighborhood bookstores around the country.
We need to get Whitney on the radio, Pacifica, public radio, all the places where she can tell the story of the awesome folks in the American peace movement.
Contact Whitney at: wtrettien@yahoo.com.

Also ... I want to go on another book tour in the spring. If you know of a bookstore or a group that might be interested in having me come talk, give me a holler.
Thanks.
