"Operation: Little Free Library" and where you can find "To the Mill and Back"
Over the past few weeks, a dedicated team has been placing copies of "To the Mill and Back" in Little Free Libraries on the East Coast.
But now, we are on the West Coast as well!
We managed to get "To the Mill and Back" in four libraries in Southern California:
San Diego
Anaheim
BONUS: The Granada Avenue library in San Diego (I think it was that one!) also has a copy of "Redemption by the Bay."
From what I've been told, people have been taking books out -- hopefully, to read them!
The books are in 5 states so far, with more to come. If you'd like to place one in a Little Free Library in your area (in the U.S. or worldwide), please let me know at the address on the right.
Here are some of the East Coast locations where the book has been placed. If it's not there, then somebody already took it, but you can always let me know and I can try to restock it.
Pennsylvania
Maryland
New Jersey
Virginia
I will add locations as more information becomes available and as more books are placed. If all goes well, this will expand both nationally and internationally -- especially with your help!

Recently, while lugging a copy of "To the Mill and Back" around Philadelphia to use at an event I was attending, it dawned on me that it was, all things considered, a pretty thick book. I never intended it to rival "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" for bulk.
Also, I noticed that the original font wasn't so great. I'd also been told that on at least one occasion.
So after all that, I decided it was finally time to make a change. I knew I didn't have to cut any content to make the book smaller. It was a matter of reformatting. So all the words are still there. They just are in a little bit nicer format (Times New Roman, for those in the printing biz) and, more importantly, the wide margins are gone.
As a result, "To the Mill and Back" is about 200 pages shorter! But again, the story hasn't been cut at all! And, as a result of THAT, the price is down, too, on Amazon. So, you can take a look there and, I hope, give it a good review, even if you don't buy it!
