Ed King Book, Thirteen Scoops Around the Box Update 08-06-2023

[NW Mailing List]

And in keeping with my pledge made many, manymonths ago, for each pre-order
Ken receives by midnight Sunday, August 13, 2023, I will donate $10.00 per
pre-order to NWHS.

Thanks to all who have pre-ordered; and with Ken's update hopefully those
of you who  haven't will take advantage of the pre-order price before it is
too late!
