Stories seem to influence politicians and the public. What if members of this
list who could afford it agreed to buy a copy of the book when it is published?
I don't know the publishing business in Canada, but would a presold order for
say 600 books from members of this list serv influence a publisher to print it?
How much would it take for you to have say 2,000 copies printed in a form that
you could then market?
Does your proposed book have some stories on how certain people are able to free
themselves from exclusion traps? How has government helped? How have individual
benefactors helped? How have individuals found solutions to the problems? We
know that some people are able to escape but not others-are their common
elements to the sucesses and failures?
I would be glad to committ to buying a copy.
Good luck
