I have had discussions with Dan Cote regarding what will probably be at least a 2-part article for DGJ, maybe even 3 parts, on the Western California Duck clubs recorded in the Western Field 3-year series. I originally planned to put it in short book form but the very short "read life" and even shorter purchase interests have been shown to be counterproductive even for desktop or "smallbox stores" (e.g., Staples; Office Depot) publication so far as cost of layout, duplication, binding and etc. And I am still dealing with the liquidation of the last of Ed Muderlak's reproduction catalogs; the very last of his hardbound books I finally sold about 3 months ago, which itself is a cautionary tale regarding the printed word vs. Google. So it is a question of packaging and timing. Be patient; these things take time.
