Now I'm confused. I thought you said that a Nomad had offered to purchase "all" the books.

Yes, all the books I showed and advertised here... there are 18.
I have another copy of the Boat Launch Ramps book ($10) and MANY copies of Mike Humfreville's book ($10 each + shipping). So I will post a new add for
them.

My heart goes out to you David. Looks like a fine collection you got there. It can't
be easy giving those up.
This one caught my eye....

As a Gen. Contractor who hasn't made squat this year either (but I did marry a nurse) I have returned to school and am close to finishing Paralegal
training for a retirement career. Hoping I can do it remotely from a bay in Baja in about 5 years over the internet as a contract paralegal for
attorney’s who wish they could be sitting next to me!
I seem to gather you are a Landscape Contractor? Or something like that…and from what I know most of those types don’t need the extended higher
education of 2 years at Mesa University (ok took me 3 years and it was Mesa Junior College) that I have but let me lend some of my higher learning to
you (I always tell my wife I have enough brains for all of us).
FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD DUDE! WRITE A BOOK!
With all of your material, experiences, photographs, maps, etc…you’re selling other peoples stuff? Self Publish, Hit up Sunbelt Publications, find
lost relatives to fund a few hundred bucks for your first copies (Zulu, etc…) and stop giving the money away here on this forum!
That’s what a few years of Junior College get ya.
& enough sense to marry a nurse. |
Thank you... for your input... I am open to career changes, but I need income much sooner than college classes will last.
I have been in the IRRIGATION industry since 1980 (31 years), installation, sales, design, promotion, education, manufacturing... primarily for
landscape applications and specializing in low volume sprinklers and drip irrigation.
A Baja book would be fun, but besides some of you and my other friends, I don't think there is a strong market for travel books... specially into
Mexico, given the economy and fear.
I am not dismissing your advice... in fact, I love it! It is just hard to make any transitions when one is running on fumes... I do pray, and I do
have an estimate tomorrow (amazing in this wet weather)... Wish me luck!

It is a new book Woody... it was published in Tecate by CAREM (Zella Ibañez). It is like a high school or college basic history of California (Baja)
book, 1533-1848... the Spanish exploration and Mission period. You should be able to get a new copy...

Good luck on the estimate. After 20 years as a general contractor I changed careers 8 years ago. Things went great, until 2009. Since then we're
slipping slowly backwards. I've got a bunch of stuff for sale on Craigs List trying to find a little daylight.
I support the idea of a book, even if it's self published on your computer and spiral bound! I went to your website to see if you had a Milepost-type
book for Baja. We're planning a run to Todos Santos in Jan/Feb, and I'm looking for resources.
Praying it goes well tomorrow.

Can you get the AAA Baja Guide? That one is pretty good for a mile by mile main roads description (with some side trips off road).
The Baja Almanac is a must if you like to explore or go off road.
The AAA Baja map is very handy for major dirt and paved roads.
The Baja Adventure Book is a bit dated, but has some awesome details for off road and off shore exploring.
