NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How much do you need for a copy? :laughing:
-
Keith, I know you have a copy set aside for me so I'm ok with it... :goldtooth:
So if I understand correctly, the book is essentially done and being edited now but they don't have a publisher yet? I sure hope they have one in mind or someone who's interested. Otherwise it could be awhile...

Daves Dad is very busy being a grandfather to 17 grandkids. He doesn't miss a sporting event, play, recital, etc. So at this point Beth said its in the editing stages and hes talking to publishers. All the while being grandpa.
I cant wait.
-
Keith I am much bigger then you I need a copy !! Lol!
-
Tell him to stop being a grandpa long enough to get that book published! Ha, just kidding, but come on man lets get er done. We are not getting any younger! :thumbsup:

Back up for updates
-
I'm still keeping a look out for this to materialize!
-
Is there really a book in the future of Mankind? :pray:
-
last time I talked with Mrs. windauer she said it was I. the editing phase I believe. that was last year sometime.
-
Any updates?
-
How long does it take to edit something?
-
Send to me, I'll edit it !
-
It can take a long time and lots of people. Point of fact. Went through a process to rewrite and edit an existing training manual last year. Started in January. Finished in December.
Even though several folks reviewed and proofed the "final" when the 10,000 copies were printed we found, on the front cover corner no less, Archery spelled Archry. That mistake cost $2,536. (Reprinted and collated the cover.
-
Waiting anxiously.
-
Every time someone brings this thread back up I get all excited. Oh well, at least I'm not the only one anxiously waiting for this book.
-
I sent Beth an email yesterday. Waiting for a reply.
-
Keith, Thanks for updates. I think Tip owners get preference points....
-
That's one book I want!
-
:dunno:
-
The more Tips, the more Preference Points :D
-
To be honest, I'm getting tired of hearing about this F*#&%#@ing book. Either write it or don't already.. :pray:
-
11 preference points here :biglaugh:

Its not the Windauers hyping it up. :dunno:
-
I talked to her a couple months ago....they were waiting for a couple of Proof Readers to finish and then all they need to do is publish it.
The fella is not a professional writer and am sure is getting friends to proof read and give input that knew Paul as well in addition to editorial proof reading.
Give them a break....this book is for more than the sales....it is a mans legacy that will be lost otherwise for Windauer family.
-
Izzy, I never said the Windauers were hyping it up. Don't put words into my mouth or make assumptions
A little tounge in cheek humor about the long wait. Relax people

Assumptions are most of what we take from reading another persons written word and Im not apologizing to you in anyway as I don't feel that I put words in your mouth but I assure you that I am not offended by your post.
Its all good and I for one am relaxed. I do look forward to the book though.
-
Beth emailed me today. Nothing has changed. Still working on the final stages. Hes a busy family man trying to get it done. Im sure it will be worth it.
-
I realize the patience of anxious readers is wearing thin but you need to know Bob. He's an extremely good writer and I have full confidence he will do an outstanding job. Please remember this is not a fiction/novel. Bob is putting his name on Paul's legacy and it shouldn't be rushed. You also need to throw into the equation writers are forced to deal with proof readers; publishers/printers, etc. where the time element is not in the author's personal control. I'm sure the final product will be well worth it. Have patience folks. BW
-
I am certain this book will be epic in proportion.
-
Yea I am certain it will be as well! I Only hope by the time it is finished that I am not as well!
:dunno:
-
It will be worth the wait, no doubt!
-
Very excited about this one

I like that idea. Do PPs also count for bows you previously owned? In addition, I think an original 'tip should be worth 10 PPs.
Do we get a point for extra limbs as well?
If that's the case, I should have 14 points. Not sure how it stacks up against point creep, but it's a start!
-
Anybody know the status of the book?
-
>>-----> updates would be great <-----<<
-
I look forward to it very much......

Just a Paul Schafer picture for the book thread...

He was an incredible man for sure. I believe Barry Wenzel also wrote about Paul's adventures, which were borderline crazy. A great husband, father, athlete, bowyer, archer, hunter, the list goes on and on. No doubt he was taken before his time but God had other plans, I guess.
