Old Hickory Recon, Memories of the 30th Infantry Division 1943-1945 - Marion M. Sanford

great to hear Jeff, I've been following this on FB too

 

Jef, would you be so kind please to ask Old Hickory if he remembers something about the fierce fights after the liberation of Maastricht towards Meerssen Bunde on 16th septembre '44? There was a lot of resistance these days because germans blew up some important bridges so advance was delayed. Finally Americain forces found a little bridge which was intact at Weert. Besides that they helt high ground on which they were able to lay arty barages on everything that moved.

 

Okay, thanks for asking .

 

Hi Jeff, you did a good job, congratulatioins to you and Mister Sanford of course. Do you have information about how many copies are made, price and how to order book or digital version ? Thanks in advance !

 

sweet ! It looks great to say the least

 

Very nice, Jeff. I really like the cover concept.

 

Hello IBBARR:

Your father's WWII history sounds almost identical to my father's. Do you know what years he was overseas? My dad was drafted from Oklahoma (Tulsa was where he registered) and I think he was over there about 2 years, wounded 3 times, he was a sharpshooter. He was first injured 2 days after D-Day in the St. Lo, France area. He never talked about the war but had some association with the Malmady Massacre, I don't know if he knew somebody who was there or not. I can't remember when he came back but I think it was Dec. 1944 with shell shock. Please contact me so we can discuss our histories! )

 

Is this book available yet and more importantly is it possible to be sent overseas (Holland) ?

 

Jeff, is book ready ?

 

Ok Jeff, thanks !

 

Slipdigit,

Might I suggest you consider also publishing the book through Amazon.com? Their Ebook (Kindle) sales are now about 70% of the book market and publishing through them makes the work available to hundreds of millions of people. You get 70% of the royalties. It's a bit tedious to do since you have to change all the formatting in Word so it works in the Kindle format, which is kind of an ugly process since you never get it right the first time. Once the book "works" in Kindle (they provide a Kindle viewer that works from your PC), you then "publish" it on Amazon and make it available for download to most of the world.

I've got a couple of books out now and am quite happy with the process and the royalties. You an email me if you have any questions. Here's a link: https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/signin

 

Slipdigit,

I wish you'd PM me as well. I'd like a copy of the book.
